Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Bears steal Briningstool and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Briningstool, the 200th pick, roughly 60 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 18 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at slot 35 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A slide stopped in the 50th overall pick, with Tyler Booker worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in Round 3, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 156 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at No. 200 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
Somehow J.C. Davis was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Steal is underselling it; De'Corian Clark at the 256th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
