Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: C-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jared Wilson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the 149th pick. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in pick No. 14. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A tidy bit of business in slot 39, where Colston Loveland graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in No. 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Kaleb Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 5, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 155th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the 235th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
