Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
Larceny in pick No. 235 lands the Bears a B, Wells Jr. and all.

Call it larceny. Antwane Wells Jr. sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 17, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Ratledge pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 10 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at slot 39. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached into another round for Tate Ratledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A clean, defensible pick in the 72nd pick with a little surplus value in Quinshon Judkins. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the 149th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
You do not let a cornerback like Nohl Williams reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in slot 242, and they pounced on premier running back value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
