Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
A weekend the Bears spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 76 spots for Wesley Williams, and value like that does not grow back. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Bernard pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They did well to land Caleb Banks in slot 48, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 57th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 2, Pick 28 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Germie Bernard in pick No. 89, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Somehow Jonah Coleman was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Genesis Smith in pick 102. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They barely believed it either: Sam Roush still on the board at the 113th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
No edge and no loss on Bishop Fitzgerald in the 114th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at slot 117 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They paid up for Isaiah World at Round 4, Pick 29 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They paid sticker price for Keagen Trost in pick No. 154, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Kaleb Proctor at No. 163, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Febechi Nwaiwu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Febechi Nwaiwu. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Good price on Isaiah Nwokobia in the 220th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick239 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
Wesley Williams at pick No. 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Daniels in the 241st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
