Larceny in slot 244 lands the Bears a B-, Gordon II and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 17 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at the 39th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Nice patience on Kaleb Johnson, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 17. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at No. 147. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in pick No. 233, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
