Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B+. There is reaching, and then there is Daevin Hobbs at slot 158. The Bears jumped the board by 86 and dared it to prove them wrong.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Love pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick70
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
A tidy bit of business in slot 70, where Trevor Goosby graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82
Rnd3
Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. at pick No. 82 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 92nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in No. 111 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158
Rnd5
Daevin Hobbs
A big swing on Daevin Hobbs at pick 158, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Fair-plus on Davison Igbinosun, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Value said wait; Bud Clark in Round 5, Pick 34 says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
A'Marion Peterson
A reach for A'Marion Peterson in the 245th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
The board had cheaper options than Fernando Carmona at pick No. 252, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
