Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureC-
The Bears let White fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ricky White had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 11, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Sawyer has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the 59th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick110 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
They paid a round early for Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 110, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 147 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky White
Steal is underselling it; Ricky White at the 231st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
