Draft Grade — Bears

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Slaughter: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Slaughter slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 25. Highway robbery.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A tidy bit of business in No. 57, where Caleb Banks graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Will Lee III for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They read the board right and Kage Casey was the payoff at pick No. 163. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite slipping to the 239th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at the 241st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
