A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-. The war room fell hard for Parker Brailsford, and it showed at pick No. 78: 50 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The Greathouse value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving running back 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.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Austin Barber
They liked Austin Barber enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 47. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78
Rnd3
Parker Brailsford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Parker Brailsford this early at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 117, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Tao Johnson
Circle this one: Tao Johnson at No. 155 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jaden Greathouse
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 198th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
DJ Harvey
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, DJ Harvey in pick No. 232, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
They will replay Diego Pavia at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
