Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 148: the Bears steal Trapilo and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Ozzy Trapilo sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 10, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 10 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 39th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 8 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 233rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Taking Chimere Dike in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
