Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Singleton should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick 228. Highway robbery. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Burden III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Luther Burden III leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
They liked Luther Burden III enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
They will replay James Pearce Jr. at pick 40 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 154 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in the 155th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
You do not let a cornerback like Mello Dotson reach Round 5, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at slot 204. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 228th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Taking Jake Briningstool in Round 7, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
