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

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Phillip Webb, 146 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Ratledge that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Fair-plus on Mason Graham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to slot 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They paid up for Dylan Fairchild at pick 41 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hollin Pierce in the 72nd overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick No. 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A reach on Jared Wilson in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 233rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijhah Badger well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
