Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bears.

The Bru McCoy selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 35 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Ratledge steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
No drama and no debate, Jack Sawyer went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the 52nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brant Kuithe
A slide stopped in the 110th overall pick, with Brant Kuithe worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jason Henderson
You do not let a linebacker like Jason Henderson reach slot 116 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at No. 148 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
They reached into another round for Bru McCoy, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 182nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
