Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureC
The Bears won the night they stopped Neal from sliding. Grade: C-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, stolen at slot 147.

The cost of the Morris reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 10 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 14th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 72nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in pick 147 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They reached a country mile for Seth McLaughlin at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Good price on Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
