Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Knight Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Demetrius Knight Jr. had no business being available in No. 193, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Every board in the league had Nelson lower, and that gap is the story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 23rd pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
A slide stopped in pick No. 39, with Wyatt Milum worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They reached a country mile for Ashton Gillotte at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the 45th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to No. 56, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 62 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in slot 72, and they pounced on premier running back value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Circle this one: Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 193 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Connor Colby
They robbed the room for Connor Colby here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Steal is underselling it; Seth McLaughlin at pick 233 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
