Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in pick 149 lands the Bears a B+, Nelson and all.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nelson. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 14 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in slot 39. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in the 45th overall pick, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 49 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A tidy little value on Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Somehow Jack Nelson was still sitting there in pick No. 149, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in slot 197 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 John Williams
Fair-plus on John Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
