Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C+.

Nobody had Mykel Williams this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 80 spots to get him at No. 76. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Campbell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The veteran additions, Ted Karras chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

So much rides on Mason Graham that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
A quiet steal in pick 16: Mason Graham for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
A reach on Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 40; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43 Rnd2 DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in Round 2, Pick 11, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 76th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Emery Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 150th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.Michael Sturdivant this early at pick No. 161. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the 175th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They barely believed it either: Miles Frazier still on the board at slot 228. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 244 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
