FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears. The war room fell hard for Wesley Williams, and it showed at the 239th overall pick: 73 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
On value alone, Hill Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Zion Young
Zion Young in the Round 1 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 60th overall pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
They paid a round early for Ted Hurst in the 74th pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Sam Hecht
No drama and no debate, Sam Hecht went about where he belonged in pick No. 89. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at slot 95. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Chris McClellan
They liked Chris McClellan enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Wesley Williams
Wesley Williams at pick 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
They went early on Jack Kelly in the 241st pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
