Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Noel: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaylin Noel tumbling to the Bears in pick 240 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at Round 2, Pick 7 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at No. 41 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at pick No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 111th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 140th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
The board fumbled Aireontae Ersery all the way to slot 148, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at slot 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at pick 240. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
