Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Stewart: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Evan Stewart at the 110th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Griffith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They went early on Mykel Williams in slot 33, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 52nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
They will replay Earnest Greene III at pick 84 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 110th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 116 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at No. 148. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 20, with Phil Mafah worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
You do not let an offensive lineman like Reuben Fatheree II reach the 182nd pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
