Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

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.

The Thomas Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Reaching for Foster left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 9 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 12 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the 39th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
By-the-book stuff, Kamren Kinchens at No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in the 111th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
