Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Jake Majors, the No. 93 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 126.

If Gillotte pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ashton Gillotte well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 49th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in pick 72, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No drama and no debate, Tez Johnson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A slide stopped in the 132nd overall pick, with Chris Paul Jr. worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
