Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: D+.

The Bears spent real capital to be 104 picks early on Jackson Woodard, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and quarterback went begging.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reach for Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They paid sticker price for Jihaad Campbell in the 41st pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They took Tyleik Williams at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 51 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at pick 80, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 109 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A surprising call. With edge rusher and quarterback still to address, they spent slot 111 on Lathan Ransom, a safety they were not short of.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Nothing to complain about; Brashard Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 147th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at Round 7, Pick 10. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jackson Woodard
Jackson Woodard at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A slide stopped in slot 228, with Jermari Harris worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
