Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Thieneman: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Thieneman, pick 82, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Carmona reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in slot 50 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at No. 82 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick127 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
Steal is underselling it; D'Angelo Ponds at pick 127 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They jumped the gun on Aaron Anderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They paid sticker price for Barion Brown in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at Round 7, Pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden at the 252nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
