Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Bryce Foster, 61 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in No. 33 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Belton at the 84th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The board had cheaper options than Rylie Mills at pick No. 110, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at slot 116. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 148 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in the 180th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek at pick 182 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
