Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They are betting Turner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in No. 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 9, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 72nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
By-the-book stuff, Trevor Etienne at slot 148 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
