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

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Phillip Webb, 94 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 14th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached a country mile for Jared Ivey at pick No. 41, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 81 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at Round 4, Pick 17. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in Round 5, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Vinson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at No. 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at slot 233, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
