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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 72nd pick.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 41st overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in pick No. 72, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick80 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 80, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at Round 5, Pick 10 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 CJ West
They took CJ West at par in the 189th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
You do not let an offensive lineman like Caleb Rogers reach slot 233 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson is a better player than pick 240 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
