Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Johnson: B+.

Somebody in the 149th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Tez Johnson, the No. 90 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at Round 3, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in the 149th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
They robbed the room for Jackson Slater here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
The board had Carson Vinson higher than pick 235, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Taking Craig Woodson in slot 242 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
