Chicago Bears

The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent pick No. 239 on Eric Gentry, a name the board had a full 113 spots lower.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Washington Jr..

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
The board had cheaper options than Dillon Thieneman at the 25th pick, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
Christen Miller in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 61
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zachariah Branch. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 73
Mike Washington Jr. in pick No. 89 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Mason Reiger · LB-EDGE · rank 148
Mason Reiger at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Pat Coogan · C · rank 199
They reached a country mile for Pat Coogan at No. 129, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 352
Eric Gentry at pick No. 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 301
A big swing on Dominic Zvada at the 241st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
