IAMNodge DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB+
The Bears won the night they stopped Emmanwori from sliding. Grade: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. The cost of the Paul Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 12 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at slot 51 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at No. 72 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
They read the board right and Cameron Williams was the payoff at the 85th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at pick 110 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
No drama and no debate, Andres Borregales went about where he belonged in pick 149. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick171
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
They did well to land Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 171, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233
Rnd7
Shemar James
A reach on Shemar James in the 233rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They took Jamon Dumas-Johnson at par in Round 7, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
