Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Sanders: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let T.J. Sanders slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at No. 235. Highway robbery. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 23 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in slot 39, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at Round 2, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 53rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the 72nd pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
They will replay Aireontae Ersery at No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach pick 110 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 149, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 164th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in slot 197 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in Round 7, Pick 16 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Circle this one: T.J. Sanders at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick 242 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
