Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 110 name on the board, in No. 226. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Nelson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at slot 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in the 35th pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at the 146th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 203 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
