Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Bryce Foster in the 116th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Cross III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 28 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They jumped the gun on Mykel Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at No. 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
Circle this one: Howard Cross III at Round 3, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 110th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at pick No. 116. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 180th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 182nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
