Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA FutureA
Grant should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A.

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If Grant pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to James Pearce Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 25th pick they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in pick 39, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at Round 2, Pick 9. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 72 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They liked Dylan Fairchild enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 89. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
