Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Bears steal Sanders and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Raheim Sanders, pick No. 232, roughly 87 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in slot 37, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Majors. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in pick No. 142, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to No. 232, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Circle this one: Terrance Ferguson at pick 246 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
