Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bears let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 41. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Noel pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Fair-plus on Kelvin Banks Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylin Noel well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in slot 41 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Nice patience on Dylan Sampson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 11. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
