Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Moss. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Le'Veon Moss slide 97 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Colby reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Joe Alt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 22nd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They let Tate Ratledge come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They went early on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 9, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Donovan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A big swing on Connor Colby at pick No. 147, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 193rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in slot 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
