FutureC
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: B. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Landing Rice that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in the 55th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 57th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 75. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and pick 89 is lovely value for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A straight-up fair deal on Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Circle this one: Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
The board had Sione Vaki higher than the 168th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell slipping to pick 174 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in No. 220 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 246th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
