Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 232: the Bears steal Milum and grade out a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Wyatt Milum slide 196 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Kelvin Banks Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Kelvin Banks Jr. at the 14th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at No. 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in Round 2, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to pick 72. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at slot 232 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in pick No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 240th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
