Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+.

The Bears did not so much draft Addison West as overpay for him, 112 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ratledge.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 7th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to pick 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Alfred Collins. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Addison West
Addison West in No. 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A real head-scratcher, Elijhah Badger in the 229th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the 246th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
