Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Singleton from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, sitting there at pick 246 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If West pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 37th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Fair-plus on Tyler Booker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at slot 71. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Addison West
They left a pile of value on the table to take Addison West this early at Round 5, Pick 5. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at pick 232. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in No. 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
