Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bears: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Dorian Strong at the Round 7 slot is 49 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Brailsford. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 12th pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They reached into another round for Ashton Gillotte, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 43 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They reached a country mile for Alfred Collins at the 74th overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
They read the board right and Parker Brailsford was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 12. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board had Ar'maj Reed-Adams higher than No. 203, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at pick No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dorian Strong in Round 7, Pick 30, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
