Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Walker: B-.

When a board-topper like Jalon Walker slides to the 203rd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Campbell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the 39th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had Tate Ratledge higher than pick 42, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Nic Scourton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 73, where Nic Scourton graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in Round 5, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 244th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
