Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D-. Some picks age like wine; Jared Wilson at the 103rd overall pick will need to, sitting 107 spots clear of his grade.
They banked enough surplus on Helm to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 15th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In pick 17 they get a lead back with juice. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slid further than he should have, and slot 33 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 55th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in the 67th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 72 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With edge rusher and quarterback still to address, they spent slot 81 on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick82
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at Round 3, Pick 18 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
A real head-scratcher, Rylie Mills in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Skattebo well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wilson in pick 103, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Lathan Ransom while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
They reached a country mile for Dorian Strong at No. 122, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 133rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 147 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
They paid sticker price for Howard Cross III in the 148th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at slot 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
The board had Xavier Nwankpa higher than the Round 6 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
