Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at pick 147.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at pick No. 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A real head-scratcher, Deone Walker in slot 41 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Majors. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick 147 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in No. 193 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in the 233rd overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
