Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Steven Parker; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 83 spots ahead at No. 240.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 24 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached a country mile for Deone Walker at the 44th pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 97 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Jaeden Roberts at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in No. 170, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Monheim at the 209th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in pick 233, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick240 Rnd7 Steven Parker
A wild overpay on Steven Parker in Round 7, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
