Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Phillip Webb at the 166th pick, a reach of 121 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Singleton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 17th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached into another round for Jared Ivey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Good price on Clay Webb in the 79th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at Round 5, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in the 209th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in the 228th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
