Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Antario Brown in No. 233, a good 144 spots before the room expected him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 10 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 39 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 41st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wilson this early at Round 3, Pick 8. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Antario Brown
They reached into another round for Antario Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at slot 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
