Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Carter: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Abdul Carter at the 73rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Cox pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In No. 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 73rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool slipping to the 93rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
They robbed the room for Quincy Riley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in Round 4, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
They let Bear Alexander come to them and pounced at the 137th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
They did well to land Jonathan Mendoza in pick 169, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Eli Cox
A conviction pick on Eli Cox at slot 187 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
