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

You could see the war room lean forward. Keon Sabb at the 84th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Ratledge reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 20 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the 33rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in Round 2, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Taking Keon Sabb in pick No. 84 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Karene Reid
Fair-plus on Karene Reid, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Wease Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease Jr. at the 116th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
