Draft Grade — Bears
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A weekend the Bears spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

There is reaching, and then there is A'Marion Peterson at the Round 6 slot. The Bears jumped the board by 156 and dared it to prove them wrong. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Chris Peal
They reached a country mile for Chris Peal at the 63rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
A reach for Samson Okunlola in the 89th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
Wendell Gregory at slot 111 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 4, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho slid further than he should have, and pick 152 is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Raylen Wilson reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brody Foley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brody Foley. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bryce Young
Bryce Young in the 189th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 A'Marion Peterson
They reached into another round for A'Marion Peterson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
They let Brandon Inniss come to them and pounced at pick 196. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo in pick No. 204 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devon Jackson
No edge and no loss on Devon Jackson in slot 237; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Malachi Breland
Value said wait; Malachi Breland in No. 238 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dejuan Lane
Nothing to complain about; Dejuan Lane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248 Rnd7 Dylan Raiola
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Raiola at pick 248, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
