Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Bryce Foster, 61 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in Round 1, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at No. 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 52nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sonny Styles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A reach on Rylie Mills in pick No. 110; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at pick 116, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in slot 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
No drama and no debate, Hunter Wohler went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 20. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ben Yurosek
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Yurosek at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
