Childrey DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-. The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 3 slot on Jadarian Price a full 43 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. The dealing was even money, start to finish.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at the 23rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Anthony Lucas
They reached a country mile for Anthony Lucas at Round 2, Pick 30, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
No edge and no loss on Malachi Fields in slot 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
A real head-scratcher, Jadarian Price in pick No. 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
A reach on Bray Hubbard in pick 131; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in No. 163, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
