The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Fitzgerald: B+.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 24.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at the 53rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to the 84th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Addison West
They paid sticker price for Addison West in slot 197, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 235 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in No. 242, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
