Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Tate Ratledge in slot 41.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Mafah pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 39 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 41st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid sticker price for Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 72, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No edge and no loss on Nick Nash in pick No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They took Jermari Harris at par in the 233rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
