Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tim Smith; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 51 spots ahead at slot 240. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 39th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 8 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reach for Jake Majors in pick 76; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
They took Howard Cross III at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in No. 193, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at the 233rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 240th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
