Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 180, roughly 71 spots before his name belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Burks to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deion Burks
A quiet steal in the 84th overall pick: Deion Burks for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Monheim. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jaheim Oatis
Jaheim Oatis in No. 116 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 180, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at the 182nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
