Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Trotter. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Josiah Trotter tumbling to the Bears in No. 89 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Harkey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 57 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
The board fumbled Josiah Trotter all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in the 129th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A clean, defensible pick in No. 163 with a little surplus value in Nadame Tucker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They jumped the gun on Jordan Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
A reach for Alex Harkey in pick 241; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
