Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at the 72nd pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
