Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 115 spots for Emery Jones Jr., and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
They banked enough surplus on Judkins to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in slot 39, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55
Rnd2
Emery Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Emery Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at pick 68 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in the 86th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 90 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at No. 102 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A big swing on Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 163rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Good price on Jordan Hancock in the 190th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jay Toia
Jay Toia at slot 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
You do not let a running back like Le'Veon Moss reach pick No. 247 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
