Chicago Bears

More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 105 spots for Eric Gentry, and value like that does not grow back.

The Bell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.8 · Pick 40 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 42
No edge and no loss on Zion Young in the 40th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · A.J. Haulcy · S · rank 50
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and A.J. Haulcy at Round 2, Pick 31 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
Circle this one: Christen Miller at No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 74
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Washington Jr. in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 87
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 91 with a little surplus value in Sam Hecht. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 88
Skyler Bell at slot 116 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
Dametrious Crownover at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Febechi Nwaiwu · OG · rank 173
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Febechi Nwaiwu. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Red Murdock · LB · rank 191
Red Murdock in the 191st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.14 · Pick 195 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 188
Ephesians Prysock at the 195th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.10 · Pick 226 · Fa'alili Fa'amoe · OT · rank 245
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 239
No drama and no debate, Eli Heidenreich went about where he belonged in No. 239. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Luke Altmyer · QB · rank 243
Luke Altmyer at Round 7, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 352
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at pick No. 247. A need, and now a little less of one.
