Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bears let Wohler fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Hunter Wohler, the No. 199 name on the board, sitting there at the 241st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If Conerly Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in pick 82: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at slot 155 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brennan Presley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brennan Presley in Round 6, Pick 29. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Taking Hunter Wohler in pick No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
