Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Harvey: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: RJ Harvey, the No. 163 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 17. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Alexander has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at slot 39 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at pick 72, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They jumped the gun on Kevin Winston Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach Round 4, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 148, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 158th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
The board had Jaylin Lane higher than the 240th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
