FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Brooks: B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, pick 233, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged.
Every board in the league had Dike lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Colston Loveland
In the 25th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Fair-plus on Tyler Booker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in pick No. 41, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79
Rnd3
Chimere Dike
They reached a country mile for Chimere Dike at slot 79, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 10 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick233
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 233 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Good price on Jermari Harris in the 240th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
