Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Hancock: B.

When a board-topper like Jordan Hancock slides to No. 233, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Membou reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick 10 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in the 39th overall pick: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A big swing on Armand Membou at No. 41, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 72 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid up for Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 22 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 244th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
