Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Helm: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Gunnar Helm, the No. 91 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 10. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matthew Golden in pick No. 14. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 41st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than No. 45, and the running back fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the 72nd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
Steal is underselling it; Gunnar Helm at pick 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
You do not let a cornerback like Nohl Williams reach Round 7, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 John Williams
John Williams in slot 240 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
