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

Call it larceny. R.J. Mickens sat on the board until pick 233, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

The Grant pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
No drama and no debate, Jahdae Barron went about where he belonged in slot 10. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Landon Jackson at No. 45, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A real head-scratcher, Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They let Brashard Smith come to them and pounced at the 148th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A tidy little value on JJ Pegues in pick No. 189, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
You do not let a safety like R.J. Mickens reach pick 233 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
