Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-. The Bears bet big and early on Gino Garcia, 67 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
The Lambert-Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in No. 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98
Rnd3
Lathan Ransom
No drama and no debate, Lathan Ransom went about where he belonged in the 98th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 233 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gino Garcia this early at pick 240. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
