Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
The Bears robbed the room for Warren. Final grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They banked enough surplus on Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Andrew Van Ginkel by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, with Shemar Stewart leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 24 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 39th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slid further than he should have, and pick 41 is lovely value for the running back. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 72nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They robbed the room for Isaiah Bond here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
