Draft Grade — Bears

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears. The rest of the league had time to spare on Anthony Lucas; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at the 57th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Thomas at that price is a win they earned.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Romello Height
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Keyron Crawford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keyron Crawford in Round 3, Pick 25, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ar'maj Reed-Adams. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
They paid sticker price for Aamil Wagner in No. 163, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zavion Thomas in pick No. 239. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
