Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA
The Bears let Uiagalelei fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched DJ Uiagalelei slide 84 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Adding Za'Darius Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 27th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at Round 2, Pick 1 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emery Jones
They read the board right and Emery Jones was the payoff at No. 41. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in slot 59 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in the 73rd pick, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
They will replay J. Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 137 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
Good price on Zion Nelson in pick 169, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at pick No. 189 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
