Draft Grade — Bears

Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Thomas: A. You could see the war room lean forward. Azareye'h Thomas at the 232nd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 20th pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Josh Simmons
Circle this one: Josh Simmons at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 45th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53
Rnd2
Armand Membou
Armand Membou in slot 53 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cameron Williams in Round 3, Pick 8. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to pick No. 74, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach pick 121 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 182nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 197 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at No. 227 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick 232 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Darien Porter
They robbed the room for Darien Porter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240
Rnd7
Shemar Turner
They barely believed it either: Shemar Turner still on the board at Round 7, Pick 24. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
