The rest of the league will want that one back. Lee Hunter tumbling to the Bears in pick No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jeremiyah Love and all.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, David Bailey in No. 57, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Carnell Tate in pick No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Steal is underselling it; Spencer Fano at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Sonny Styles in pick 129 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Lee Hunter at the 239th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They robbed the room for Romello Height here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
