Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Jake Majors, taking him 35 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Grant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 39th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton is a better player than the 41st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A real head-scratcher, Jake Majors in No. 72 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
