Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Fortune: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how O'Donnell Fortune got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the 235th overall pick. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

If Wyatt Milum and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in slot 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They jumped the gun on Jordan Phillips, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Somehow Billy Bowman Jr. was still sitting there in the 149th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
They robbed the room for Pat Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in the 235th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Circle this one: Nick Nash at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
