Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Winston Jr.: B.

Call it larceny. Kevin Winston Jr. sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 17, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Delp pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 41st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 72nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 147 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 197 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Oscar Delp
They paid up for Oscar Delp at pick 244 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
