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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent slot 116 on Tyler Baron, a name the board had a full 42 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Wohler pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Deone Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deone Walker at the Round 1 slot is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at slot 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at pick 52, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Wyatt Milum well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in pick No. 110 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A big swing on Tyler Baron at No. 116, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 5, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Hunter Wohler for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas in the 182nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
