Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Stone: B.

Call it larceny. David Stone sat on the board until the 89th overall pick, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 2 of 6 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In pick 25 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jordan Seaton
Circle this one: Jordan Seaton at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 David Stone
David Stone at pick No. 89 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Samson Okunlola
You do not let an offensive lineman like Samson Okunlola reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They robbed the room for Jermaine Mathews Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196 Rnd6 Zavier Mincey
Zavier Mincey at Round 6, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick239 Rnd7 Benjamin Brahmer
They barely believed it either: Benjamin Brahmer still on the board at the 239th pick. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick241 Rnd7 Payton Pierce
Steal is underselling it; Payton Pierce at slot 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
