FutureA
The Bears let Howard fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Will Howard tumbling to the Bears in pick 159 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick 23 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A tidy little value on Omarion Hampton in the 39th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They took Zy Alexander at par in slot 72, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Fair-plus on Pat Bryant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 5, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Reed at the 170th overall pick, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick211
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 233rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Somehow Donovan Edwards was still sitting there in slot 240, and they pounced on premier running back value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
