Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Nobody had Thor Griffith this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 60 spots to get him at No. 234. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lambert-Smith. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 39 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 64th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarr Norman-Lott. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 129th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They jumped the gun on Carson Vinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 234 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They liked Jackson Hawes enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 17. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like KeAndre Lambert-Smith reach the 242nd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
