Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Seth McLaughlin, 59 picks early at No. 147.

The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55 Rnd2 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 55th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at slot 72 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Value said wait; Jack Nelson in slot 85 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They let Gunnar Helm come to them and pounced at No. 86. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A big swing on Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 147, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
