Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Phillips from sliding. Grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Phillips at No. 148 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 20 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 30 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the 39th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 45th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 19 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Value said wait; Jaylin Noel in No. 72 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Charles Grant in the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick 114 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in slot 148 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
