Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Dont'e Thornton Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 25 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Grant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at slot 39. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No drama and no debate, TreVeyon Henderson went about where he belonged in No. 55. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 72 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 22, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid up for Shemar James at the 233rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamon Dumas-Johnson. A need, and now a little less of one.
