FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 56 spots for Jordan Hall, and value like that does not grow back.
The McNeil-Warren value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. It is not that McNeil-Warren is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
They liked A'Mauri Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in the 60th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slipping to Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
A tidy bit of business in slot 94, where Zakee Wheatley graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
No drama and no debate, Jadarian Price went about where he belonged in pick 130. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A want over a need in pick No. 131: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren adds a safety while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick168
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 168 with a little surplus value in Max Iheanachor. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241
Rnd7
Barion Brown
Barion Brown in pick 241 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
A premium they did not need to pay, Bear Alexander a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
Value said wait; Jordan Hall in No. 257 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
