Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Larceny in the 63rd pick lands the Bears a D, Slaughter and all.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Brown reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 31 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christen Miller in pick 35. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 63 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Siereveld. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 129, where Emmanuel McNeil-Warren graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in the 134th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at No. 171 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Barion Brown
The board had cheaper options than Barion Brown at slot 237, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in pick 246 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
They paid sticker price for Lawson Luckie in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
