Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Thornton Jr.: D. The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
The Baker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. It is not that Helm is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
The Thornton Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Jeanty at the 10th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick15
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A quiet steal in No. 46: Derrick Harmon for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at slot 51, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in pick 72, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Mbow at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at the 85th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A surprising call. With cornerback and quarterback still to address, they spent pick No. 116 on Gunnar Helm, a tight end they were not short of.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at slot 149. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to pick 197, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 235th overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at No. 242 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
