FutureB
A mixed bag for the Bears, and a C to match. Nobody had Steven Parker this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 299 spots to get him at pick No. 72. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The David Bakhtiari deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Hit on Travis Hunter and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at Round 2, Pick 7 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
They paid sticker price for Xavier Watts in the 41st overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick54
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aeneas Peebles well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Steven Parker
Steven Parker in No. 72 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Carson Vinson
They reached into another round for Carson Vinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jam Griffin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jam Griffin in slot 148, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
John Williams
They reached a country mile for John Williams at the 159th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233
Rnd7
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in Round 7, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
