Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Davison Igbinosun, and it showed at slot 116: 21 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. 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.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They went early on Mykel Williams in the 33rd pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in pick 52, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
No drama and no debate, Sonny Styles went about where he belonged in No. 84. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in pick 148, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 180th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
By-the-book stuff, Hunter Wohler at the 182nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
