Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureC
The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent pick No. 244 on R.J. Oben, a name the board had a full 118 spots lower.

The Neal steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at pick No. 36, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 37th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at the 40th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick45 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at No. 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in slot 93, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in pick No. 146, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 151st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at the 171st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
A big swing on Fentrell Cypress II at Round 6, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at No. 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Reuben Fatheree II. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
A wild overpay on R.J. Oben in pick 244, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
