You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Squirrel White at slot 239, roughly 166 spots before his name belonged.
On value alone, Dennis-Sutton makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Bell at No. 57 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They reached a country mile for Anthony Lucas at the 60th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Dontay Corleone in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Circle this one: Dani Dennis-Sutton at pick No. 129 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Squirrel White in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
They reached into another round for Malik Spencer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
