Grand theft in slot 66: the Bears steal Watts and grade out a B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Watts at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 11th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 66th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 72 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
