FutureA+
A passer of the future in Maye, and a C-, for the Bears. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
The Zinter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They are betting Vidal proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
The Bears indulged a want in Solomon while a need in cornerback and linebacker stayed open. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 16 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier slid further than he should have, and slot 75 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A curious use of the 110th pick. Cornerback and linebacker needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 11. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in No. 117 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in the 119th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in the 123rd pick leaves cornerback and linebacker for later.
Pick143
Rnd5
Zak Zinter
Steal is underselling it; Zak Zinter at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 6, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
