Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Perkins Jr.: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Harold Perkins Jr. tumbling to the Bears in No. 204 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Dumervil reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in No. 40: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders is a better player than the 48th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than pick No. 79, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Perkins Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
A big swing on Marcus Dumervil at Round 7, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
