Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 243: the Bears steal Marks and grade out a C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Woody Marks slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 243rd overall pick. Highway robbery. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Campbell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Hit on Will Campbell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 16 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 79th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
You do not let an offensive lineman like Parker Brailsford reach No. 154 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick 204 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
The board had cheaper options than Kyren Lacy at pick No. 228, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at slot 243 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
