Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent pick 95 on Derrick Moore, a name most had 58 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reese falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at Round 2, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
They talked themselves into Derrick Moore at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They jumped the gun on Bray Hubbard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Taylor. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 237th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kayin Lee this early at No. 246. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
They reached into another round for James Williams Sr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
