Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tony Grimes at slot 244, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hubbard pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

Haulcy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
The board had Jonah Coleman higher than pick 60, and the running back fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing A.J. Haulcy in the 91st pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Bray Hubbard in pick No. 131 leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick168 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They talked themselves into Rayshaun Benny at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at Round 7, Pick 26 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
They reached a country mile for Tony Grimes at pick 244, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
They paid sticker price for Kayin Lee in pick No. 257, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
