Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 156th overall pick lands the Bears a B+, Stewart and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Evan Stewart got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at slot 156.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Caldwell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The La'el Collins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 25 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Abdul Carter. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 59, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They liked Kevin Winston Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 82. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in the 126th overall pick with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Evan Stewart in Round 5, Pick 18, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 200 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Belton in pick No. 246. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at slot 256 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
