FutureC-
Williams is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a B. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Every board in the league had Knox lower, and that gap is the story.
That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Amegadjie value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In No. 18 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Franklin. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 49 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at the 81st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 125th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick 141 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at pick No. 168 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Knox this early at the 198th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
