Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Raheim Sanders slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at pick 244. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 12th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than pick No. 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Value with a capital V on Luther Burden III in pick 43, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kenneth Grant in slot 74. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Perkins Jr. still on the board at the 203rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at Round 7, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in No. 244, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
