Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B
ValueC-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 183 spots for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Getting Martinez where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in the 41st overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick42
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 72 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at No. 110 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 147 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190
Rnd6
Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193
Rnd6
Nick Martin
Nick Martin at pick No. 193 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Miles Frazier a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to pick 215, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jay Toia
Jay Toia at No. 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235
Rnd7
Sam Brown
Sam Brown is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at No. 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251
Rnd7
Damien Martinez
You do not let a running back like Damien Martinez reach pick 251 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
