Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Thor Griffith went at the 240th pick, a good 58 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at Round 1, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 39th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than the 72nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They paid a round early for Ryan Fitzgerald in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick233 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A reach on Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 233; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick No. 240, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
