Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Majors: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. 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
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Clay Webb
They talked themselves into Clay Webb at pick 40, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 48th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at No. 79 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in Round 5, Pick 16, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in pick No. 204 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They went early on Elijhah Badger in slot 243, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
