Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: C.

The Bears spent real capital to be 76 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The McLaughlin pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Hit on Tyler Booker and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached into another round for Deone Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Kaleb Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at No. 56. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 72 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in pick 97 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 147th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at No. 159 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick 193, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to Round 7, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They will replay Seth McLaughlin at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
