Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Milum: A-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Wyatt Milum, the No. 14 name on the board, sitting there at pick 226 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding CeeDee Lamb by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach slot 41 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 3, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at pick 147 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 203rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to No. 226, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in pick No. 244, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
