Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Zuhn III at pick 116, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In No. 17 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at Round 2, Pick 1 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at the 52nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 84 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They liked Tyler Warren enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 110. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at pick 116. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They paid a round early for Thor Griffith in the 180th pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at No. 182 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
