FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a B for the Bears. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Davis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick 26 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in No. 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 57 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82
Rnd3
DJ James
By-the-book stuff, DJ James at pick No. 82 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 106th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 123 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A wild overpay on Isaiah Davis in pick No. 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
