Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Booker: B-.

Call it larceny. Tyler Booker sat on the board until the Round 3 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

They will need Brailsford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Sabb pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 20th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in No. 42 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 52nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 10 on Keon Sabb with cornerback and quarterback unsolved.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A surprising call. With cornerback and quarterback still to address, they spent pick No. 110 on Malachi Moore, a safety they were not short of.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
A premium they did not need to pay, Tahj Brooks a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick 155 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
They liked Brant Kuithe enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 180. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kiser in No. 182, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
A reach for Moose Muhammad III in the 216th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
