Draft Grade — Bears

Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Bears steal Stewart and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Evan Stewart, the No. 17 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 9 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Fair-plus on Kenneth Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A slide stopped in slot 50, with Jonah Savaiinaea worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 73rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in No. 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd4 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson slipping to the 99th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacobee Bryant
Jacobee Bryant in pick 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They barely believed it either: J. Michael Sturdivant still on the board at pick No. 126. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Edwards. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at pick 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
A straight-up fair deal on Aubrey Burks at the 149th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 169th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at No. 189 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Nice patience on Seth McLaughlin, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 30. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
