Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Marcus Dumervil; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 74 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Campbell. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 25th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at pick 61 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at slot 72. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 76 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 86 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaeden Roberts well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick187 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
The board had Willie Lampkin higher than slot 187, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach the 233rd overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marcus Dumervil this early at pick No. 244. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
