Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Styles: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sonny Styles, the No. 45 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 18. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In the 18th pick they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A reach on Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 50; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 82nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than pick 156, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They barely believed it either: Davison Igbinosun still on the board at slot 200. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at No. 246 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Marcus Mbow
You do not let an offensive lineman like Marcus Mbow reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
