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
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.
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.
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.
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.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 91 with a little surplus value in Sam Hecht. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
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.
Dametrious Crownover at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
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.
Red Murdock in the 191st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
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.
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No drama and no debate, Eli Heidenreich went about where he belonged in No. 239. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
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.
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.
