Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
Larceny in No. 189 lands the Bears a A-, Ward and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Ward, the Round 6 slot, roughly 184 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, with Travis Hunter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Travis Hunter in the 13th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in pick No. 43 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick 74, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They barely believed it either: Tate Ratledge still on the board at Round 3, Pick 13. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to No. 114, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 150th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a safety like Jahdae Barron reach slot 151 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at the 152nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
