Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Graham Mertz. He came off 80 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Walker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in the 39th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to pick No. 41. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in pick 149 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Circle this one: Robert Spears-Jennings at the 197th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick242 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz in pick 242 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
