A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D weekend for the Bears. The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Braiden McGregor, taking him 30 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it.
They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 43rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and slot 51 is lovely value for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Blake Corum
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in pick 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in slot 123 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141
Rnd5
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in Round 5, Pick 5 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 142 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braiden McGregor well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They barely believed it either: Christian Jones still on the board at No. 165. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dwight McGlothern in the 180th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick No. 199 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
