Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Zuhn III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 20 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenneth Grant. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 52nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 84 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in No. 110 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
They jumped the gun on Trey Zuhn III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
A reach for Hunter Wohler in the 148th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at slot 180 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
They paid a round early for Noah Thomas in No. 182, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
