Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+.

The war room fell hard for Fred Davis, and it showed at pick No. 244: 147 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 12 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They reached into another round for Grey Zabel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 74th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at No. 150, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 203, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger in No. 228 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fred Davis
Fred Davis at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
