The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 74 spots for Bru McCoy, and value like that does not grow back. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.
Henderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In the end it comes back to Walter Nolen, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 13. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at No. 53 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at pick 81 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at the 89th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than the 115th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to the 119th pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in Round 5, Pick 10, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach pick 165 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick193
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in slot 235 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick240
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
A real head-scratcher, Bru McCoy in the 240th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
