Draft Grade — Bears

Grand theft in pick 75: the Bears steal Guyton and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Guyton slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 75th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 9 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 111 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
No edge and no loss on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at slot 143 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
