Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears won the night they stopped Thornton Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide 60 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in pick 41, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 72 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in the 76th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A cornerback of that caliber at the 148th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in slot 149, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 7, Pick 17 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Williams at the 240th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
