Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Zion Young, 25 picks early at No. 57. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Zion Young
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Young. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
