Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Majors should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a D-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 200th pick on Nohl Williams, a name most had 39 spots down the list. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Majors pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 7, where T.J. Sanders graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than slot 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They paid sticker price for Tez Johnson in slot 89, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at Round 6, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
