Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Belton: B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Belton, the No. 112 name on the board, in pick No. 148. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 10 they get a three-down runner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 39th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in the 233rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamon Dumas-Johnson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
