Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Belton. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Belton, the 148th overall pick, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 39th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in slot 41, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than Round 3, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
