Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at No. 41. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 41 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Nice patience on Dylan Sampson, who had no business lasting to slot 72. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
