BrianBear DRAFTING FOR THEBears
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Bears let Paul Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. You could see the war room lean forward. Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 233 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
If Pegues pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in No. 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at pick No. 147, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Elijah Arroyo
They let Elijah Arroyo come to them and pounced at the 193rd overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233
Rnd7
Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach the 233rd pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 240 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
