Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears let Carter fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Barrett Carter, the No. 81 name on the board, sitting there at the 170th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They reached into another round for Deone Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in pick 51 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in the 72nd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid sticker price for Jake Majors in No. 89, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 147, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 148th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at Round 5, Pick 33. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach No. 189 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Etienne. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 195th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Seth McLaughlin at pick 209 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They paid a round early for Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Shilo Sanders at pick No. 240 squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick248 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
