Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 228 lands the Bears a B, Singleton and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, pick No. 228, roughly 125 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Lacy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in pick 17. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slid further than he should have, and pick No. 40 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
The board had T.J. Sanders higher than the 48th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They reached into another round for Ajani Cornelius, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They barely believed it either: Parker Brailsford still on the board at slot 154. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They talked themselves into Kyren Lacy at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 228th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Circle this one: Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
