Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent Round 2, Pick 10 on Charles Grant, a name most had 55 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In slot 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They left a pile of value on the table to take Grey Zabel this early at the 39th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Value said wait; Charles Grant in the 42nd overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 15 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at the 203rd pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick No. 226 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at the 244th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
