The Bears found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: D. Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will need Murphy II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. in pick No. 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick10
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They took Chop Robinson at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in No. 41, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at pick 47 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
They liked Zach Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 5. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
They jumped the gun on Malachi Corley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
A reach on Jaden Hicks in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at the 126th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
