Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The war room fell hard for LT Overton, and it showed at the Round 1 slot: 23 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the 25th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
They took Deontae Lawson at par in Round 2, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
