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

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 148 on Thor Griffith a full 43 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Delp that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in Round 2, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
A quiet steal in pick No. 84: Oscar Delp for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in the 110th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
They did well to land Wyatt Milum in No. 116, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in No. 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 20 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III slipping to the 182nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
