Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
Larceny in No. 232 lands the Bears a B-, Walley and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Justin Walley tumbling to the Bears in slot 232 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In No. 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 32; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in slot 127, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 134th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Good price on Cam Hart in Round 5, Pick 10, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Justin Walley
They will replay Justin Walley at pick 232 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
