Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for J.J. Weaver, 110 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Will Fries gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 12 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 40 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in slot 142, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Wilson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
