Draft Grade — Bears

FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Bears. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Ethan Onianwa a full 35 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Getting Hill Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Somehow Anthony Hill Jr. was still sitting there in the 41st overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Makhi Hughes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Makhi Hughes in pick No. 57. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in pick 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Rod Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Rod Moore adds a safety and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick126
Rnd4
Nic Anderson
They went early on Nic Anderson in No. 126, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
Value with a capital V on Le'Veon Moss in No. 164, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at slot 177 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Fernando Carmona
They liked Fernando Carmona enough to skip the value, taking him in the 194th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214
Rnd6
Ethan Onianwa
A big swing on Ethan Onianwa at Round 6, Pick 38, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jack Velling
The board had Jack Velling higher than the Round 7 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248
Rnd7
King Mack
King Mack in pick No. 248 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Thomas Collins
They reached a country mile for Thomas Collins at the 252nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
