Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 149 lands the Bears a B, Jackson and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Jackson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at No. 149. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 39th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy little value on Quinshon Judkins in pick 72, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 149th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Taking Craig Woodson in slot 242 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
