Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Nobody had Davison Igbinosun this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 21 spots to get him at pick No. 116. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
A reach on Mykel Williams in No. 33; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in pick 52. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 84 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 110th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A wild overpay on Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They paid a round early for Lathan Ransom in pick 148, more than the board wanted. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 182 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
