Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Phillip Webb selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 143 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

However the rest shakes out, Nolen at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick No. 10 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 39th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Fairchild this early at Round 3, Pick 8. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cobee Bryant in No. 149, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at pick 197 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at slot 242 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
