Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Davis fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. J.C. Davis sat on the board until No. 241, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
A clean, defensible pick in the 25th pick with a little surplus value in Jermod McCoy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 David Bailey
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lee Hunter in pick No. 60. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
You do not let a safety like Dillon Thieneman reach No. 89 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in slot 129, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ephesians Prysock
Circle this one: Ephesians Prysock at pick 239 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in the 241st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
