Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedA TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Stone from sliding. Grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched David Stone slide 65 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Jackson Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at No. 35 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.
Pick84 Rnd3 David Stone
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like David Stone reach pick No. 84 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
They will replay Greg Johnson at pick 100 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
