Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Erick All at pick No. 186, a reach of 63 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in pick No. 9 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 32 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in the 75th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 95th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A slide stopped in slot 125, with Jahdae Barron worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
Somehow James Williams was still sitting there in No. 146, and they pounced on premier safety value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Erick All
They reached into another round for Erick All, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slid further than he should have, and pick No. 232 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
