The Bears let Pierce fall and pounced. Final grade: B-. The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pierce. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, L'Jarius Sneed leading the way.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They paid sticker price for Tyler Warren in pick No. 14, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick19
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
They took Nick Emmanwori at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 1. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at pick 53, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than the 62nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Zy Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A slide stopped in pick 102, with Ozzy Trapilo worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at No. 119 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to Round 5, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They let Dont'e Thornton Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 197. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
