Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Barryn Sorrell at slot 197 is 115 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Giddens. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 39 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in the 41st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick197 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A big swing on Barryn Sorrell at pick 197, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They robbed the room for DJ Giddens here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in the 242nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
