Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+.

The Bears bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 191 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They banked enough surplus on Nolen to cover a lot of smaller sins. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Wyatt Milum that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in the 39th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 72 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick149 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 197th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at slot 235, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijhah Badger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
