FutureA
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C+. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
Polk at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Joe Alt
Joe Alt slid further than he should have, and pick 17 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They robbed the room for Patrick Paul here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Devontez Walker
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Devontez Walker in Round 4, Pick 14, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in No. 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
