Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
Larceny in slot 232 lands the Bears a B+, Neyor and all.

Call it larceny. Isaiah Neyor sat on the board until pick No. 232, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

Reaching for Legette left real value on the table behind him. The veteran additions, Michael Thomas chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 8th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 43, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They liked Cooper Beebe enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 65. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in Round 3, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They jumped the gun on Braden Fiske, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in pick 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nelson Ceaser. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 168 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in the 170th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
The board had cheaper options than Jared Wiley at the 186th pick, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor in pick No. 232 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 234 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
