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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Cody Simon at pick No. 182 is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 20 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in pick 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 52nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 110 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at Round 4, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brennan Presley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brennan Presley. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Value said wait; Jack Kiser in pick No. 180 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 182 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
