Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears spent real capital to be 73 picks early on Elijhah Badger, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 9 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They reached into another round for Charles Grant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Fair-plus on Denzel Burke, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at slot 146 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203 Rnd6 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger in pick No. 203 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They let Jared Wilson come to them and pounced at the 228th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A premium they did not need to pay, Garrett Dellinger a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
