Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Bryant should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Pat Bryant slide 45 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 25th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They paid sticker price for Aireontae Ersery in No. 45, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in slot 72: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in pick 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Circle this one: Emery Jones Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 240th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
