DaBears DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bears walked out of the weekend still thin at running back, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In pick 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 3. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in No. 50 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 82nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jalon Walker
They took Jalon Walker at par in pick No. 200, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
