Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Anthony Belton at the 110th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Igbinosun has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at No. 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in No. 52, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the 84th pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 14, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Baron in pick 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A conviction pick on Thor Griffith at pick No. 180 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A premium they did not need to pay, Seth McLaughlin a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
