Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Bullard should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Javon Bullard at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Legette pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Adding DeMarcus Lawrence by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 24th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 31st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 53, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 63 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in slot 110 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III slid further than he should have, and pick No. 122 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
The board had James Williams higher than pick 146, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
The board had cheaper options than Daequan Hardy at the 213th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
