Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bears never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Starks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
No edge and no loss on Josh Simmons in the 10th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They read the board right and Malaki Starks was the payoff at No. 41. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
They took Kyle Kennard at par in pick No. 72, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the 233rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A slide stopped in slot 240, with Ricky White III worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
