A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Joe Milton III, 78 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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 matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 9 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A clean, defensible pick in pick 75 with a little surplus value in Sedrick Van Pran. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the 122nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
