Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears let Blue fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaydon Blue, the 240th overall pick, roughly 67 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick 45. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They took Tre Harris at par in pick No. 49, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Watts at the 51st pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A slide stopped in the 191st overall pick, with Jack Nelson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Taking Kyle Williams in No. 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in pick 233, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at Round 7, Pick 24 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
