Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

TradesA-
FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B+ to prove it. Nobody had Emery Jones Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 114 spots to get him at pick No. 83. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Majors. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Ted Karras leading the way. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In the 22nd overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick70
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach pick 70 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at No. 74 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in the 76th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at Round 3, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at slot 84, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
A big swing on Derrick Moore at pick 86, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in No. 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alfred Collins at the 108th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mykel Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mykel Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 4, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in slot 168, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
The board had cheaper options than J.Michael Sturdivant at the 201st pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at pick 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at the 231st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Nice patience on Donovan Edwards, who had no business lasting to pick No. 233. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
