Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears let Moss fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Le'Veon Moss at the 233rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will need Toia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Kobie Turner chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 14th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton in No. 40 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals is a better player than pick No. 75 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 202 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They will replay Bryce Foster at the 228th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the 233rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
The board fumbled Jaishawn Barham all the way to slot 248, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jay Toia
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jay Toia well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 254 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
