Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

The Miles Frazier pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 52 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
No drama and no debate, Princely Umanmielen went about where he belonged in No. 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luther Burden III at the 39th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Grey Zabel well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 73rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 David Walker
The board fumbled David Walker all the way to the 226th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in No. 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
