Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
Jones Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Emery Jones Jr., the No. 124 name on the board, in the 170th pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Terence Steele pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 39th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in pick No. 41, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Nice patience on Xavier Restrepo, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 8. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 76 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 149th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Circle this one: Emery Jones Jr. at No. 170 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at slot 211 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They took Ty Hamilton at par in slot 235, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
They let Mac McWilliams come to them and pounced at the 242nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
