The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The Bears did not so much draft Sam Hartman as overpay for him, 41 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Landing Ewers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In No. 31 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
No drama and no debate, Troy Franklin went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in Round 2, Pick 7 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Brian Thomas Jr. for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
No edge and no loss on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick73
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They barely believed it either: Quinn Ewers still on the board at No. 73. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They went early on Audric Estime in the 104th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Fisher at pick 107, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 9, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
James Williams
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the 135th pick on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick141
Rnd5
Theo Wease
A clean, defensible pick in slot 141 with a little surplus value in Theo Wease. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in pick No. 182 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They talked themselves into Curtis Jacobs at the 187th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203
Rnd6
Moose Muhammad III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Moose Muhammad III at Round 6, Pick 28 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
