Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 231st pick lands the Bears a B+, Brooks and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Brooks slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at slot 231. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cost of the Anderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Will Fries by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 15th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in No. 39: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They liked Tyler Warren enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 42. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick47 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to Round 3, Pick 9, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Perkins Jr. at the 203rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick No. 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nic Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nic Anderson this early at the 244th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
