FutureA
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a C-, for the Bears. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Bears committed. Michael Penix Jr. is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Call it a C- and check back in two years.
Jean-Baptiste has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the 38th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 75, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at slot 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143
Rnd5
Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in pick 143, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at Round 6, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
