Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Watts should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B+.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Watts, the No. 46 name on the board, in the 80th overall pick.

The cost of the Ezeiruaku reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 14 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They talked themselves into Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in No. 72. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had Omarr Norman-Lott higher than the 88th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 4, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They read the board right and Jake Majors was the payoff at the 124th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
