JJ DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears let Newton fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Newton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 3rd pick they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Javon Bullard
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in slot 35 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A straight-up fair deal on Tory Horton at No. 103, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Pratt at No. 104. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 31. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ray Davis
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in slot 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
They jumped the gun on Mike Sainristil, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at the 182nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies in pick 225 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
