Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bears never addressed running back, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Colandrea reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley at pick No. 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Braylon Staley
They paid sticker price for Braylon Staley in slot 57, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Justin Scott in the 89th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emerson Mandell
Fair-plus on Emerson Mandell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nico Iamaleava. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Anthony Colandrea
Anthony Colandrea at No. 239 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Austin Novosad
No edge and no loss on Austin Novosad in Round 7, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
