The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Gavin Sawchuk at Round 7, Pick 35 regardless, 142 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. On value alone, Wheatley makes the weekend a net positive.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. It is not that Wheatley is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
LT Overton
In pick 15 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in No. 77 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 19 on Zakee Wheatley with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick194
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
They jumped the gun on Raylen Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230
Rnd7
Barion Brown
No drama and no debate, Barion Brown went about where he belonged in the 230th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Gavin Sawchuk
Value said wait; Gavin Sawchuk in slot 252 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
