Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 197th pick: the Bears steal Allen and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched LeQuint Allen slide 55 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 10 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They robbed the room for Kenneth Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 41st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 72 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 5, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
Taking LeQuint Allen in the 197th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in slot 235, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
No drama and no debate, Jake Briningstool went about where he belonged in No. 242. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
