Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Arian Smith, 154 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Majors. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 9 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 35th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in pick No. 43, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 146th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 203 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Arian Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Arian Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
