Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Moore: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Rod Moore, the No. 141 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 197. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Lachey proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
They barely believed it either: Josh Simmons still on the board at No. 39. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 72nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They went early on DeMonte Capehart in the 147th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Circle this one: Rod Moore at Round 6, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A big swing on Luke Lachey at pick 233, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brennan Presley
They reached into another round for Brennan Presley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
