Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

Nobody had Simeon Barrow Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 54 spots to get him at No. 149. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Brooks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Campbell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Fair-plus on Jack Sawyer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in pick No. 41, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in No. 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Simeon Barrow Jr. in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the 235th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A tidy little value on Kitan Crawford in No. 242, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
