Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Horton: A.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tory Horton, the No. 110 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 204. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 30 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy little value on Malaki Starks in slot 33, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Somehow Aireontae Ersery was still sitting there in the 72nd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the 132nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 10 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at pick 204 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray slipping to the 206th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 233rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
