More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Caleb Douglas, 36 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In the 25th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
Dillon Thieneman slipping to No. 43 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
They paid up for Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Logan Jones · C · rank 91
Logan Jones at the 89th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Caleb Douglas · WR · rank 165
Caleb Douglas at Round 4, Pick 29 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
