Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears won the night they stopped Paul Jr. from sliding. Grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Chris Paul Jr. got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 20th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No edge and no loss on Kaleb Johnson in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the 49th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They did well to land Andrew Mukuba in pick 72, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in No. 193 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in slot 233: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at the 240th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
