Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Bears walked right past. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will need Hamilton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On value alone, Collins makes the weekend a net positive.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Simmons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to pick 39. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and slot 41 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Value with a capital V on Omarion Hampton in the 45th overall pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 3, Pick 8 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 148th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at No. 232 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They reached into another round for Ty Hamilton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A quiet steal in the 240th pick: Cam Jackson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
