Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Bears steal Judkins and grade out a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in No. 148, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nesbit has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
They paid sticker price for Jack Sawyer in pick No. 12, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 39th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach No. 76 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 193rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A reach on Bryson Nesbit in slot 233; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
