The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 122 name on the board, sitting there at slot 244 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If Greene III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Abdul Carter · DE · rank 8
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Princely Umanmielen · DE · rank 10
You do not let an edge rusher like Princely Umanmielen reach pick 35 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 47
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Morrison at slot 46 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 90
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at pick No. 73, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.10 · Pick 111 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 127
Parker Brailsford at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · Earnest Greene III · OT · rank 160
Earnest Greene III in No. 118 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.9 · Pick 147 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 64
TreVeyon Henderson at the 147th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.31 · Pick 169 · Smael Mondon Jr. · LB · rank 113
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 169th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.35 · Pick 173 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 137
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 181
Circle this one: Joshua Gray at pick No. 203 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.12 · Pick 226 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 200
They will replay Xavier Nwankpa at the 226th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.30 · Pick 244 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 122
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
