Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Cowing from sliding. Grade: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jacob Cowing slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 42. Highway robbery.

The Bears indulged a want in Stover while a need in quarterback stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 9 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mekhi Wingo at the 72nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
A clean, defensible pick in pick 78 with a little surplus value in Quinyon Mitchell. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in No. 104. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in slot 108 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
They took Shilo Sanders at par in pick No. 109, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than Round 4, Pick 14, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with quarterback open.
Pick141 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in slot 145 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in the 151st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 182 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to the 217th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at pick No. 225 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
