Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Winston Jr. should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kevin Winston Jr. slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 63rd pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Foster proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in pick 33 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 52nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 63rd pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Oscar Delp graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They went early on Rylie Mills in pick No. 110, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at slot 116, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at No. 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in slot 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at Round 6, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They paid up for Thor Griffith at the 182nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
