Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears spent real capital to be 107 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Webb pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Logan Brown
They paid up for Logan Brown at slot 50 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Clay Webb
They let Clay Webb come to them and pounced at the 82nd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 155 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 6, Pick 29, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They went early on Elijhah Badger in No. 241, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
