Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jackson Woodard at Round 7, Pick 17, a reach of 98 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Bowman Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They will answer for taking safety early while running back, offensive lineman and other spots went begging.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 20 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 39th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 41, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 72 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at running back, offensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
By-the-book stuff, Jeffrey Bassa at slot 122 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in Round 5, Pick 10 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick149 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 189 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jackson Woodard
Jackson Woodard at pick No. 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 240th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
