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

You could see the war room lean forward. Tory Horton at the 148th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Every board in the league had Green lower, and that gap is the story. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than Round 2, Pick 7, and the running back fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 41st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No drama and no debate, Elijah Arroyo went about where he belonged in No. 72. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 179 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Nice patience on Jermari Harris, who had no business lasting to No. 240. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
