Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Thor Griffith selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 78 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd overall pick, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick39 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They jumped the gun on TreVeyon Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darien Porter. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Good price on Gunnar Helm in No. 94, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Robinson this early at the 148th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 233rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
