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

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Tyler Baron, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sheppard. 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 pick 20 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
They did well to land Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick52 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick No. 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in the 84th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the 110th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They reached a country mile for Tyler Baron at Round 4, Pick 20, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
They let Will Sheppard come to them and pounced at pick No. 180. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They went early on Jalen Travis in the 182nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
