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

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Antwaun Powell-Ryland, the No. 149 name on the board, in the 182nd overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. DeJean has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick No. 15 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 41st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in slot 47 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in No. 68, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in Round 4, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at pick 109 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They took Ray Davis at par in the 132nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson is a better player than No. 141 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick 184 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in the 225th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
