Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the 240th pick: the Bears steal McLaughlin and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Seth McLaughlin, the No. 200 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Jonathan Mingo deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 12th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Derrick Harmon in slot 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in the 72nd pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 76. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 193 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
