The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 72nd pick on David Walker, a name most had 37 spots down the list. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
The Strong steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 15 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the 39th overall pick, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at No. 44 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker in pick 72 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They read the board right and Donovan Jackson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 10. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe slipping to slot 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in pick No. 114. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 118 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 5, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 230th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick 233 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 240th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
