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

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 9 on Theo Wease Jr. a full 60 spots early.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They paid sticker price for Mason Graham in No. 9, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 35th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They reached a country mile for Zy Alexander at the 41st overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nothing to complain about; Alfred Collins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at Round 5, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 David Walker
Steal is underselling it; David Walker at the 226th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
