Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Some picks age like wine; R.J. Oben at No. 242 will need to, sitting 119 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 14 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in the 39th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in No. 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick No. 72 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at pick 149. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to pick 197, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at the 235th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
They reached a country mile for R.J. Oben at Round 7, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
