Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Grand theft in pick No. 147: the Bears steal Majors and grade out a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Jake Majors slide 40 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Walker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at No. 41, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 5, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 148th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
They jumped the gun on Joshua Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Connor Colby at the 193rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Value with a capital V on Trevor Etienne in slot 233, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
