Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Xavier Truss at pick 242, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged.

Hancock falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 10th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 72 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nice patience on Nick Nash, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in Round 6, Pick 19 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
A big swing on Xavier Truss at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
