Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Larceny in pick 174 lands the Bears a C, Carter and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Barrett Carter slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick No. 174. Highway robbery. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

They are betting Truss proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at the 12th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They took Kaleb Johnson at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Restrepo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 149th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick No. 152. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 197th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at Round 7, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick242 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in pick No. 242 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
