The Bears turned the phones into found money: B. The war room fell hard for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and it showed at the 147th overall pick: 56 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Pearsall value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, cornerback and other spots still on the board.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the 9th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick10
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 10 they get a load in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick17
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Powers-Johnson this early at slot 41. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 74th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 110 on Jaden Hicks with running back, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ainias Smith. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at slot 188 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick227
Rnd7
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231
Rnd7
Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa at the 231st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
