You build a draft on nights like this. Treydan Stukes had no business being available in pick No. 111, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will need Randall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Akheem Mesidor · DE-EDGE · rank 37
In slot 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach pick 62 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 79
Keylan Rutledge in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 74
Steal is underselling it; Treydan Stukes at pick No. 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 136
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Proctor. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Caleb Douglas · WR · rank 166
A clean, defensible pick in No. 170 with a little surplus value in Caleb Douglas. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · John Michael Gyllenborg · TE · rank 237
John Michael Gyllenborg in the 239th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 280
They left a pile of value on the table to take Adam Randall this early at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.40 · Pick 256 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 262
By-the-book stuff, Nolan Rucci at slot 256 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
