Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Miles Frazier pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 46 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mickens. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 10th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They took Xavier Watts at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A straight-up fair deal on JT Tuimoloau at the 41st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick No. 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in pick 233 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Taking R.J. Mickens in Round 7, Pick 24 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
