Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C+.

The Seth McLaughlin pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 57 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Ferguson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 10th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slipping to slot 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Value said wait; Jordan Burch in the 72nd pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They went early on JJ Pegues in pick 178, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 183rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They liked Ricky White III enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 197. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 17 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
