Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Bears torched the value chart for Trey Zuhn III, taking him 25 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick No. 17 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 52nd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
No edge and no loss on Sonny Styles in pick 84; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They liked Tyler Warren enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 110. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A reach on Thor Griffith in pick 180; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
A straight-up fair deal on Hunter Wohler at pick No. 182, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
