Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Shemar Turner, 44 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That Belton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 10 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 41st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in No. 72, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to slot 148, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Torricelli Simpkins III this early at the 233rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They will replay Craig Woodson at the 240th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
