Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: B+.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DJ Giddens, the No. 170 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 39 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
They paid sticker price for Kyle Kennard in slot 72, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at pick 233 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick240 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in Round 7, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
