FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Jaheim Bell in the Round 4 slot. Put together, it is a D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
By-the-book stuff, Caleb Williams at pick No. 1 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at the 75th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 11; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Foster in pick 126. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143
Rnd5
Cody Schrader
They paid a round early for Cody Schrader in No. 143, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at pick No. 206 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
