Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Ferguson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Terrance Ferguson, the No. 120 name on the board, stolen at No. 199.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in pick No. 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in the 63rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at pick 95 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors slipping to No. 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 149th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at pick 197 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
Somehow Terrance Ferguson was still sitting there in pick No. 199, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 7, Pick 16 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A tidy little value on DJ Campbell in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 242nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
