Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The Bears let Edwards fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Donovan Edwards slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
The board had Derrick Harmon higher than pick 39, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 72 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reasonable price with a little left over, Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 148th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 24. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
