Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Judkins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in pick No. 132, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Reaching for Majors left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 7, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached into another round for Deone Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at pick 64 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A reach on Tate Ratledge in No. 66; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 147th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick 193 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A tidy bit of business in No. 233, where Trevor Etienne graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at pick No. 240, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
