Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Styles fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Sonny Styles had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Frazier pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
No edge and no loss on Will Campbell in pick No. 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter in slot 41 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 47th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Princely Umanmielen in pick 73, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 16 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 118th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They talked themselves into Jonah Monheim at No. 148, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in No. 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at Round 7, Pick 12 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at pick 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Steal is underselling it; Damien Martinez at the 254th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
