Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bears, and a C+ to match.

The war room fell hard for Mykel Williams, and it showed at the 149th overall pick: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in the 37th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kenneth Grant this early at pick No. 46. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Parker Brailsford in No. 77, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the 149th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Makari Paige
By-the-book stuff, Makari Paige at slot 201 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Giles Jackson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Hemby well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
