Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Marvin Jones Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 96 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harvey.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 25. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A slide stopped in the 60th overall pick, with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They did well to land Sam Hecht in the 89th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy bit of business in No. 129, where Bryce Lance graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Harvey at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A big swing on Marvin Jones Jr. at pick 241, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
