G1 DRAFTING FOR THEBears

FutureA+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Cowing: B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Jacob Cowing slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Maason Smith
A want over a need in slot 33: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
A quiet steal in pick 38: Kamren Kinchens for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41
Rnd2
Josh Newton
They took Josh Newton at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Fair-plus on Sedrick Van Pran, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ladd McConkey in the 70th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Terrion Arnold
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick No. 93 on Terrion Arnold, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 101st pick, where Tyler Davis graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
A tidy little value on Danny Stutsman in pick No. 105, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
Nice patience on Howard Cross III, who had no business lasting to the 122nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan slid further than he should have, and the 126th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joe Milton III in slot 138. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Moore at No. 163. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Good price on Ajani Cornelius in pick 171, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ben Bywater
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ben Bywater at pick 198 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in the 209th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Erick All
Nothing to complain about; Erick All went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick226
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
They did well to land Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 226, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at slot 234 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick243
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
They liked Sheridan Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 243. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
