Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Collins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Alfred Collins slides to No. 150, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to pick 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They paid sticker price for Landon Jackson in Round 2, Pick 11, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 150th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 228 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.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
