Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jay Toia at the 195th pick, a reach of 126 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Barton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, George Kittle leading the way.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 24th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick48
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
No drama and no debate, Sonny Styles went about where he belonged in pick No. 48. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick79
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 79 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mykel Williams
They talked themselves into Mykel Williams at Round 3, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Emery Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the 121st pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 122nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125
Rnd4
Benjamin Morrison
This one needs a full-page explanation: Benjamin Morrison in pick 125, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at Round 5, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to slot 166, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick169
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 169 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
J.Michael Sturdivant
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.Michael Sturdivant this early at No. 170. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 190 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193
Rnd6
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at pick 193 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jay Toia
Jay Toia at the 195th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jack Velling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Velling. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick197
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
They robbed the room for Le'Veon Moss here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198
Rnd6
Samuel Brown
They read the board right and Samuel Brown was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 23. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Julian Fleming
A wild overpay on Julian Fleming in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206
Rnd6
Phil Mafah
You do not let a running back like Phil Mafah reach pick 206 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A quiet steal in slot 228: Donovan Edwards for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at Round 7, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at the 237th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They barely believed it either: Bryce Foster still on the board at No. 243. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman slipping to pick No. 247 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ben Yurosek
Taking Ben Yurosek in the 249th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
