Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears let Fannin Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Harold Fannin Jr. fell into No. 76. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, Mazi Smith chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, with James Pearce Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 12 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the 39th overall pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 17, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in slot 72 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 76 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
