Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 228th pick lands the Bears a B, Giddens and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ Giddens fell into pick 228.

The Anderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 17th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Josh Simmons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 48 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 120 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Taking Parker Brailsford in No. 154 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They will replay Xavier Nwankpa at Round 6, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at slot 228 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in the 243rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
