FutureA+
The Bears bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says D. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 3rd pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 9 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Nubin a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick34
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in slot 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 48, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 103rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd4
James Williams
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
