Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 96 spots for Tyler Batty, and value like that does not grow back.

Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick No. 37. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in No. 40, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at the 71st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They reached a country mile for Cobee Bryant at slot 142, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick 232, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
