Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 240th overall pick on Phillip Webb a full 86 spots early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 10th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 41 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They reached a country mile for Jared Wilson at the 72nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
A wild overpay on Carson Vinson in slot 148, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They took Zeek Biggers at par in pick 233, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
