Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Eric Gentry, 71 picks ahead of schedule.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Stribling makes the weekend a net positive.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 89th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Red Murdock
They liked Red Murdock enough to skip the value, taking him in the 177th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in No. 221 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Jatta in slot 225; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at slot 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the 241st pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A slide stopped in pick 246, with De'Zhaun Stribling worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
