Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Bowman Jr.: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 228 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 17 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 8, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slid further than he should have, and pick No. 48 is lovely value for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at slot 79 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 154th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They will replay Bryce Foster at No. 243 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
