Booker was a top 100 player, so getting him for next year's pick in the 120s is good value.

Now all the Bears need is a rotational DT to replace Justin Jones and this roster is set.

Next year's 4th, so a possible pick in the 120s for 144. Booker was a top 100 player, so there is value there.

A trade for an early 5th rounder. They got their guy who some expected to go at #122, at #144 so depending on the trade value, it seems like a great pick. It cost next year's 4th. So assuming they are a fringe playoff team, that pick is in the 120s for 144.

Bears get Booker

Potentially the last pick for the Bears in this draft. Will be an upgrade over Gill but seems like a luxury pick when you had your choice of Edge or Center.

However he will be an upgrade over Gill.

Hard to see the logic there when a punter plays only 5 to 6 plays a game. I would've went with an Edge like Booker there.

Bears take Punter Tory Taylor from Iowa at pick 122.

Looks like the Bears will get their pick of an Edge or Center.

I think that is possible if there is a trade partner.

Bears pick at 122, so 21 picks before the Bears last pick, unless they trade down. Here are the top rated according to NFL.com and PFF (bold players are rated higher than 122 and on both lists): Top Rated Remaining: Jaden Hicks - S (#4 PFF)(#78 NFL) JaTavion Sanders - TE (#2 PFF)(#70 NFL) Brandon Dorlus - DT (#5 PFF)(#65 NFL) Xavier Thomas - Edge (#13 PFF)(#137 NFL) Austin Booker - Edge (#15 PFF)(#108 NFL) Javon Solomon - Edge (#17 PFF)(#117 NFL) Dadrion Taylor-Demerson - S (#19 PFF)(#132 NFL) Sedrick Van Pran - C (#23 PFF)(#102 NFL) Cade Stover - TE (#25 PFF)(#124 NFL) Others: Mohamed Kamara - Edge (#71 NFL) Theo Johnson - TE (#82 NFL) Jared Wiley - TE (#83 NFL) Hunter Nourzad - G (#109 NFL) Mekhi Wingo - DT (#116 NFL) Malik Mustapha - S (#133 NFL) Tanor Bortolini - C (#139 NFL) Gabriel Murphy - Edge (#146 NFL) Others not-rated: Beaux Limmer - C Fabien Lovett Sr - DT

Hinsdale native, top-30 visit, would've been long gone at 122.

Braxton Jones safe?

you nailed it, OT from Yale

OT, Kiran Amegadjie is the pick

#74 - Edge, Bralen Trice goes to ATL Bears on the clock

#73 - G, Cooper Beebe to DAL Only ATL left before the Bears pick

#72 - LB, Trevin Wallace to CAR 2 picks left

He is ranked in between the Bears picks, will probably be gone by 122.

#71 - G, Isaiah Adams to ARZ 3 picks left, it seems like a trade down is possible with a lot of options on the board.

#68 - OT, Caedan Wallace to NE #69 - LB, Junior Colson to LAC #70 - CB, Andru Phillips goes to NYG

7 picks left, depending on how the board plays out, there is a chance Poles moves back 10 or so picks (if there is a trade partner). I assume people are going to want to scoop up Franklin or Wilson at WR soon.
