The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Vincent Anthony Jr.. He came off 99 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in slot 63 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. in pick 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braylan Shelby in the 171st pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in No. 237, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Elliot Washington II
Elliot Washington II at pick No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trey Holly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Holly this early at the 257th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
