Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The Campbell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Wisner to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in pick No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 89th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They took Bryce Lance at par in slot 126, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in No. 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
