Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
They will need Taylor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They banked enough surplus on Corleone to cover a lot of smaller sins.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
The board had Emmanuel McNeil-Warren higher than the 57th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
They paid sticker price for Derrick Moore in slot 62, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Taking Dontay Corleone in the 89th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Treydan Stukes in pick 91 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Logan Jones at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Kaytron Allen at No. 129 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 165 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Kaden Wetjen at Round 7, Pick 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Taylor in the 241st overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
