Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bears, and a C+ to match.

The war room fell hard for Phillip Webb, and it showed at the 149th overall pick: 190 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In slot 10 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 9 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 72 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Phillip Webb. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 Addison West
A straight-up fair deal on Addison West at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at No. 235 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick 242, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
