Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 149th pick: the Bears steal Johnson and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tez Johnson slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at slot 149. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 10 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton is a better player than Round 2, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 72 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
