The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Helm: B+. There is a lot to like until you notice interior defensive lineman is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Helm. If Thornton Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In pick 26 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 45th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They jumped the gun on Jared Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in slot 109, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick162
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 162nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
No edge and no loss on Jack Nelson in pick No. 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
