Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Wilson: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jared Wilson slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at No. 197. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
By-the-book stuff, Josh Simmons at Round 1, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malaki Starks at slot 41 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Tre Harris at the 45th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than the 72nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at No. 149. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 197 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Andres Borregales
Taking Andres Borregales in pick 234 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
The board fumbled Craig Woodson all the way to No. 242, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
