Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 228th overall pick: the Bears steal Carter and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Barrett Carter had no business being available in No. 228, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Lacy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than the 40th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in No. 154 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyren Lacy in the 204th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 228 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Rod Moore
Steal is underselling it; Rod Moore at pick No. 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
