Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B+.

The Bears torched the value chart for Donovan Jackson, taking him 46 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

However the rest shakes out, Hampton at that price is a win they earned. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 26th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in slot 49 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 72nd pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 118 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
