Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Thor Griffith, 60 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in slot 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reach for Tate Ratledge in pick 52; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
A premium they did not need to pay, Sonny Styles a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 110th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They reached a country mile for Rylie Mills at No. 116, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They jumped the gun on Davison Igbinosun, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in the 180th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the Round 6 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
