Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Tuten: B.

Call it larceny. Bhayshul Tuten sat on the board until the 235th overall pick, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 15 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at pick 39 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 53rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
By-the-book stuff, Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the 84th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They took Billy Bowman Jr. at par in Round 4, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in slot 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to pick No. 198 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Circle this one: Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 235 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Good price on Jake Briningstool in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
