Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Bears.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Mykel Williams, 44 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. 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.

If Deone Walker and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 15th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in No. 46, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick 77 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Value said wait; Mykel Williams in slot 149 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in Round 6, Pick 26 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mitchell Evans well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick256 Rnd7 Omari Thomas
Omari Thomas at pick 256 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
