Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Deone Walker, 57 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Perkins Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 40 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 43rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 74 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach No. 150 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
