Good, not great, for the Bears: B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Bears walked right past. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Reaching for Nwankpa left real value on the table behind him. Porter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a bell-cow for the offense. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Zane Durant
They paid sticker price for Zane Durant in No. 48, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
Fair-plus on Bray Hubbard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Value said wait; Xavier Nwankpa in the 155th pick says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 194th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
A premium they did not need to pay, Tony Grimes a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248
Rnd7
Shamar Porter
Shamar Porter is a better player than slot 248 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
