Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let James fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Jordan James, the No. 116 name on the board, sitting there at slot 148 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Reaching for Higgins left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 10th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached into another round for Tate Ratledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 72 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan James
They robbed the room for Jordan James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 233 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at the 240th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
