Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B-.

The Theo Johnson selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick 17 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A wild overpay on Landon Jackson in pick No. 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 3, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 105 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at No. 128, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They reached a country mile for Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 6, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick 183 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Value with a capital V on De'Corian Clark in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
