Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Belton: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Anthony Belton at No. 150 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Higgins reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in pick No. 39, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They will replay Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 72 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 118 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They read the board right and Billy Bowman Jr. was the payoff at the 131st overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They robbed the room for Anthony Belton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They reached into another round for Jay Higgins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at the 195th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
No edge and no loss on Jake Briningstool in pick 242; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
