Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Amos: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Trey Amos slide 189 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Ersery reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end it comes back to Wyatt Milum, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 59th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 71st pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 144 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Kennard at No. 200 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in No. 229 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
