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

Nobody else had Dontay Corleone anywhere near the 201st pick. The Bears did, by 119 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Horn Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in slot 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in the 46th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reach for Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
They talked themselves into Mykel Williams at Round 5, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick No. 201 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in Round 7, Pick 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
