Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 147th pick lands the Bears a B-, Winston Jr. and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kevin Winston Jr. tumbling to the Bears in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If Pierce pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They reached a country mile for Alfred Collins at pick 41, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
Value said wait; Hollin Pierce in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 147th pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 233rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 28, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
