Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Stewart fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Evan Stewart, slot 155, roughly 60 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If Sorrell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham slid further than he should have, and No. 18 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in pick No. 33. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the 50th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They read the board right and Jake Majors was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Somehow Evan Stewart was still sitting there in pick 155, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Taking Joshua Gray in slot 204 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in Round 7, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
