Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Egbuka: C+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 5th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 6 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Taking Emeka Egbuka in pick 47 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 105th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Khyree Jackson in slot 142. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to the 226th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
