The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board.
The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 9th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In pick No. 27 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Good price on Tyler Nubin in No. 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Blake Corum
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Corum. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 11 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing slipping to the 111th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
A clean, defensible pick in No. 123 with a little surplus value in Tyrice Knight. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
