Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in pick No. 33 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They liked Donovan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 63. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 84th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
They jumped the gun on Wyatt Milum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A reach for Jamaree Caldwell in the 127th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They went early on Tyler Baron in the 148th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in pick No. 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They paid up for Seth McLaughlin at the 180th pick when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
They reached a country mile for Noah Thomas at slot 182, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
