Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Lachey: B+.

Somebody in slot 235 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Luke Lachey, the No. 191 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding Trey Hendrickson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in pick 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good price on Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Taking Joshua Farmer in slot 149 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jack Nelson in the 197th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in the 242nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
