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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Harold Fannin Jr. slide 112 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 18 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 1. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 50 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 82nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach No. 155 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 204th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in slot 241 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
