Chicago Bears

The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Justin Jefferson at slot 139 is 64 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Farmer steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.25 · Pick 57 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 41
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at Round 2, Pick 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
A slide stopped in pick No. 63, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 69
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadarian Price in the 89th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
They took Treydan Stukes at par in No. 95, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 93
Value with a capital V on Devin Moore in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Mason Reiger · LB-EDGE · rank 148
Mason Reiger at pick 127 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Jalen Farmer · OG · rank 106
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Farmer at pick No. 129 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 132
Oscar Delp at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 139
J.C. Davis in No. 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · Justin Jefferson · LB · rank 203
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Jefferson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.8 · Pick 148 · Jakobe Thomas · S · rank 141
Jakobe Thomas in slot 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in the 169th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.36 · Pick 176 · Febechi Nwaiwu · OG · rank 175
Febechi Nwaiwu in pick 176 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 198
By-the-book stuff, Cole Payton at the 191st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.29 · Pick 210 · Tyren Montgomery · WR · rank 215
No drama and no debate, Tyren Montgomery went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 301
They talked themselves into Dominic Zvada at pick 239, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 239
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaydn Ott. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
