Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears let Felton fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Tai Felton slide 78 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

They will need Gadsden II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 33rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 13. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
A slide stopped in pick No. 50, with Abdul Carter worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in No. 65 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in slot 77, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 82nd overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tai Felton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tai Felton reach pick 113 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at No. 151 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Rod Moore
They will replay Rod Moore at pick 159 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick169 Rnd5 Woody Marks
Woody Marks slipping to the 169th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 172nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
They robbed the room for Antwane Wells Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
