Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 233 lands the Bears a B, Barron and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jahdae Barron got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 233. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach slot 41 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at pick 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 148th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at the 233rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
