Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
Larceny in pick 233 lands the Bears a B+, Woodson and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Craig Woodson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 233. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 2, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in slot 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 72nd pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in No. 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They took Donovan Smith at par in pick No. 240, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
