The Bears let Castro fall into their laps, and walked away with a A. Somebody in slot 174 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Sebastian Castro, the No. 85 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, with Jalon Walker leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In slot 30 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value.
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 39th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton is a better player than pick 45 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 72. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 117th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They barely believed it either: Emery Jones Jr. still on the board at Round 5, Pick 10. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Charles Grant
Taking Charles Grant in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
No edge and no loss on DJ Giddens in the 171st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
Somehow Sebastian Castro was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in pick No. 233, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in pick 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
