Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Frank Gore Jr. at pick 122, a reach of 49 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thrash. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at pick No. 75 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 110th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in Round 4, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
