Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueD NeedC TradesF FutureB-
The board had answers; the Bears had Butler. Grade: F.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Aaron Butler, 205 picks early at pick 216.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Bowen to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Peal
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the 59th pick on Chris Peal, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick92 Rnd3 LJ Martin
Of all the spots to shop, they chose running back. LJ Martin in pick No. 92 leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick117 Rnd4 Corey Myrick
A want over a need in the 117th overall pick: Corey Myrick adds a safety while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Wendell Gregory. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
A tidy bit of business in No. 151, where Sammy Omosigho graded well above the range. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
They reached into another round for Drew Bobo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Xavier Chaplin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Chaplin well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Inniss at the 177th pick, and it noticed. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brody Foley
Value said wait; Brody Foley in Round 6, Pick 11 says they were not listening. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick201 Rnd6 Malachi Breland
They reached a country mile for Malachi Breland at No. 201, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drayk Bowen at pick No. 206 is the proof. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick213 Rnd6 Devon Jackson
They talked themselves into Devon Jackson at the 213th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick216 Rnd6 Aaron Butler
A real head-scratcher, Aaron Butler in slot 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick219 Rnd6 Dezz Ricks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dezz Ricks in the 219th overall pick, miles early. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ify Obidegwu
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ify Obidegwu this early at slot 231. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick238 Rnd7 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at the 238th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dylan Raiola
A reach on Dylan Raiola in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
