Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in J.J. Weaver, taking him 96 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in the 37th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 47 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 117 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.
Pick142 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the 142nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A conviction pick on Jared Wilson at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A real head-scratcher, Jamaree Caldwell in the 232nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick246 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They reached a country mile for J.J. Weaver at No. 246, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
