Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. DJ Giddens at No. 137 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
They paid a round early for Patrick Payton in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 73rd overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Denver Harris
Denver Harris in pick No. 105 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
Somehow DJ Giddens was still sitting there in slot 137, and they pounced on premier running back value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis slipping to the 169th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They did well to land Miles Frazier in pick 189, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
