Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joe Milton III at pick 143, a reach of 28 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Stover pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 14th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Tavion Sanders a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
No drama and no debate, Devontez Walker went about where he belonged in slot 45. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose TE-EDGE. Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 11 leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick123 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in pick 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
