For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bears walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will need Crownover to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cashius Howell · DE-EDGE · rank 24
By-the-book stuff, Cashius Howell at pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 70
Chase Bisontis at slot 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Michael Taaffe · S · rank 68
They jumped the gun on Michael Taaffe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
They took Treydan Stukes at par in Round 3, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
A reach for Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 129; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
