Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 202nd pick on Jamaree Caldwell a full 90 spots early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 9 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in slot 36 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Logan Brown
A real head-scratcher, Logan Brown in No. 73 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the 202nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in pick 228, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijhah Badger in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
