Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

Nobody else had Eric O'Neill anywhere near pick 131. The Bears did, by 68 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
In No. 23 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 56th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 87th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric O'Neill in the Round 4 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A big swing on DJ Campbell at slot 163, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 236 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
A real head-scratcher, Elliot Washington II in No. 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
