Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DJ Campbell at Round 3, Pick 16, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Novosad pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 16th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Dylan Edwards
A tidy bit of business in No. 48, where Dylan Edwards graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Marquis Johnson
A big swing on Marquis Johnson at slot 155, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jamari Lyons
They reached a country mile for Jamari Lyons at pick No. 194, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Turner Corcoran in the 229th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Austin Novosad
Taking Austin Novosad in pick No. 248 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
