Taylor-Demerson should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A. The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, the No. 165 name on the board, in slot 224.
They are betting Simon proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In the end it comes back to Dallas Turner, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dallas Turner at pick 29. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 30 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamren Kinchens in the 39th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 19: Chop Robinson for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to No. 54. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
Circle this one: T.J. Tampa at the 58th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 69 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in No. 75, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 89th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A safety of that caliber at the 100th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick101
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at pick 101. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cade Stover
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cade Stover in pick 103. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick106
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick No. 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
They read the board right and Tykee Smith was the payoff at the 113th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jamari Thrash in No. 117, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
They robbed the room for Dominick Puni here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Washington at slot 129 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
The board had Tommy Eichenberg higher than Round 5, Pick 7, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153
Rnd5
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 153rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
Good price on Drake Nugent in pick 156, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at the 164th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 165th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick181
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Justin Rogers graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 212 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Davis at pick No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 7, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick234
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at Round 7, Pick 14. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
Taking Miyan Williams in the 244th pick 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.
Pick248
Rnd7
Omar Speights
You do not let a linebacker like Omar Speights reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Cody Simon
A big swing on Cody Simon at No. 255, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
