Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Muhammad. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jabbar Muhammad slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick 197. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Trey Hendrickson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in No. 41. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at slot 53, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Circle this one: Isaiah Bond at pick No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the 197th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold in pick 235 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 242nd pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Value with a capital V on Brant Kuithe in the 244th overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
