Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. However the rest shakes out, Wells Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau is a better player than pick No. 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 9 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sebastian Castro
They took Sebastian Castro at par in No. 60, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Lachey in pick 73. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 75th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the 105th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. slipping to pick No. 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Good price on Akheem Mesidor in Round 6, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 177th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Nice patience on Bru McCoy, who had no business lasting to the 189th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
