Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is David Walker at Round 3, Pick 15. The Bears jumped the board by 109 and dared it to prove them wrong. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Brailsford pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Jack Sawyer and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 17 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 40 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They talked themselves into Charles Grant at Round 2, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at the 79th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at No. 154 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 228th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
