Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Bears let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Brashard Smith at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Reaching for Majors left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Jermaine Eluemunor by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tate Ratledge and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in slot 39, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 65th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jake Majors well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 102 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to pick 144, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Taking Brashard Smith in No. 200 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They robbed the room for Hunter Wohler here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
