Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Bears lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is PJ Williams at the 180th pick. The Bears jumped the board by 84 and dared it to prove them wrong. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 9 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 LT Overton
A reach on LT Overton in the 44th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the 73rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 74 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 87th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No drama and no debate, Tez Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 98. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with quarterback open.
Pick100 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A reach for Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach pick No. 111 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 36, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
The board had Dorian Strong higher than slot 175, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 PJ Williams
They talked themselves into PJ Williams at pick 180, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick 197 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 202nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
