Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Ben Yurosek went at the Round 7 slot, a good 35 picks before the board was ready.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Warren value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 41st pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 81st overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Brown at slot 148, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in Round 7, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
They talked themselves into Ben Yurosek at No. 240, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
