Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears let Paul Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Chris Paul Jr. tumbling to the Bears in Round 6, Pick 27 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Igbinosun reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 14 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at No. 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Fair-plus on Tyler Booker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than Round 2, Pick 13 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Value said wait; Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in pick 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 202nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
The board fumbled Jackson Hawes all the way to the 244th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
