Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Ward: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Ward got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at slot 228. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Kennard pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at No. 40. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 48 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
They went early on Kyle Kennard in the 79th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 154 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Ward
A quarterback of that caliber at the 228th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in pick 243 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
