Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Dontay Corleone, 64 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Key pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 57 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Kevin Winston Jr. a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Steal is underselling it; Josh Simmons at the 92nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
The board had cheaper options than Oscar Delp at No. 149, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key at the 201st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board had Jimmy Horn Jr. higher than Round 7, Pick 31, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Dontay Corleone
They reached a country mile for Dontay Corleone at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
