Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Sean Martin a full 23 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Webb steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
By-the-book stuff, Jack Sawyer at the 33rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in the 52nd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Nice patience on Clay Webb, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in slot 110, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at No. 116, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
They paid up for Jonathan Mendoza at No. 180 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sean Martin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sean Martin well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
