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 91 picks early on David Walker, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Emmanwori that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at No. 72, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Addison West
A real head-scratcher, Addison West in the 147th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in pick No. 197, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijhah Badger in pick 233, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 244th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
