Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Anthony Lucas, 47 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Hall that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
They talked themselves into Anthony Lucas at slot 57, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Value said wait; Dani Dennis-Sutton in No. 60 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
They went early on Keylan Rutledge in pick 89, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
No drama and no debate, J.C. Davis went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, TJ Hall in Round 7, Pick 23, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the 241st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
