Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The war room fell hard for David Walker, and it showed at Round 3, Pick 18: 98 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick 18 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 33 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Clay Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Clay Webb in slot 50, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 155th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 29. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick No. 241. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
