Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Watts should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Watts at the 63rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 10 they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in pick 39. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to the 66th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Deone Walker a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in pick No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at Round 7, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in slot 233 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shemar James
They went early on Shemar James in No. 240, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
