Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ersery should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Aireontae Ersery got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 39th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 72 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick233 Rnd7 Aireontae Ersery
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aireontae Ersery reach No. 233 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Antwane Wells Jr. at pick 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
