Draft Grade — Bears

More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears did not so much draft Clayton Smith as overpay for him, 85 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The McNeil-Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dontay Corleone
In pick No. 25 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slid further than he should have, and the 57th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid a round early for DeMonte Capehart in No. 129, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kamran James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kamran James in pick 239, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
A wild overpay on Clayton Smith in slot 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
