Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Moss fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Le'Veon Moss got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the 243rd overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Pierce has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 17th pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Nice patience on Tate Ratledge, who had no business lasting to the 40th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in slot 48 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They talked themselves into Hollin Pierce at pick 79, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in Round 5, Pick 16 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Antwane Wells Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
