Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The Bears bet big and early on Jamaree Caldwell, 90 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 9 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Armand Membou
A big swing on Armand Membou at slot 36, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached into another round for Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Value said wait; Elijhah Badger in slot 244 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
