Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Bears won the night they stopped Horton from sliding. Grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Tory Horton, the No. 110 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 149. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Martin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 10th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Nice patience on Landon Jackson, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Kaleb Johnson at pick 45, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in No. 72, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Steal is underselling it; Tory Horton at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in pick No. 197, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at slot 235 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at the 242nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
