Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

Nobody had Eric Gregory this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 43 spots to get him at the 233rd pick.

Sanker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 10th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at pick No. 39 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 41, where Shavon Revel Jr. graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Gray. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at No. 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the 240th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
