Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Lawson: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Deontae Lawson slide 61 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 9th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in slot 40, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 71st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 246 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
