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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Brooks, slot 244, roughly 131 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Lacy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback and quarterback went begging. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 10 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 47th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Xavier Watts while clear needs at cornerback and quarterback sat open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
The board had Parker Brailsford higher than the 148th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach pick 203 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They talked themselves into Kyren Lacy at No. 226, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at the 244th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
