Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took J.J. Weaver at Round 5, Pick 12 regardless, 206 picks early.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is James. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slipping to pick 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They robbed the room for Cameron Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at the 81st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 114 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 117th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 J.J. Weaver
They reached a country mile for J.J. Weaver at No. 150, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jay Toia
Jay Toia in the 189th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
They liked J.Michael Sturdivant enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 203. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zach Rice
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zach Rice in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Omari Thomas
A real head-scratcher, Omari Thomas in slot 244 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
