FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B. Nobody else had Tony Grimes anywhere near Round 7, Pick 43. The Bears did, by 36 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Justin Skule gives the group a proven body among the projects. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
The board had cheaper options than A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 59, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They took A.J. Haulcy at par in Round 3, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid sticker price for Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 90, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the 97th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
No edge and no loss on Jadarian Price in No. 129; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 167th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Anderson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 239 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Jack Velling at Round 7, Pick 31 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
A real head-scratcher, Tony Grimes in pick No. 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
