Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Fred Davis; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 147 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 30.

Singleton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 40th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They talked themselves into Charles Grant at No. 53, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A wild overpay on Alfred Collins in slot 74, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
A reach for Jayden Higgins in pick No. 123; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 150 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 166th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in slot 203, and they pounced on premier running back value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 238 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fred Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fred Davis. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
