Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Carson Vinson pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 87 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 26 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Landon Jackson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in No. 51: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They read the board right and Jaylin Noel was the payoff at the 72nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
A big swing on Terrance Ferguson at the 90th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 127th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
