Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Thor Griffith a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They jumped the gun on Mykel Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in slot 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 88th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 4, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 116th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 120 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at slot 148, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 182nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
