Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tim Smith at the 233rd pick regardless, 92 picks early.

On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green is a better player than Round 2, Pick 7 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 56th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to slot 72, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Williams in pick 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 233rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
By-the-book stuff, Kitan Crawford at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
