Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

The Bears' one glaring miss is running back, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Zuhn III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Landing Sheppard that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 20th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in pick 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They jumped the gun on Oscar Delp, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at Round 4, Pick 20 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They took Tyler Baron at par in slot 148, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
A quiet steal in the 180th overall pick: Will Sheppard for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They paid a round early for Jalen Travis in No. 182, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
