Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B.

Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at slot 149 will need to, sitting 191 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Nolen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Adding Trevon Diggs by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in No. 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 9 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Fannin Jr. at the 72nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kevin Winston Jr. in the 76th pick, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Phillip Webb well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cobee Bryant at Round 6, Pick 19. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 235th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A big swing on Elijhah Badger at pick 242, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
