Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Hunter fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lee Hunter got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the 89th pick.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The James pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Lee Hunter in slot 89, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in No. 129. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at pick No. 163, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They paid a round early for Alex Harkey in pick 239, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kamran James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kamran James in the 241st pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
