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

Priorities are a choice, and the Bears made a strange one, taking Keon Sabb at safety in the 116th pick with linebacker, quarterback and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In No. 20 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kevin Winston Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 84th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at the 110th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, quarterback and other spots to take Keon Sabb, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick148 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board had Davison Igbinosun higher than Round 5, Pick 20, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
They let Jonah Coleman come to them and pounced at No. 180. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They liked Thor Griffith enough to skip the value, taking him in the 182nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
