Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The Abdul Carter pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 71 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 15 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They reached into another round for Jonah Savaiinaea, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Abdul Carter in the Round 2 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Fernando Carmona
No edge and no loss on Fernando Carmona in slot 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
