Draft Grade — Bears

ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Bears' weekend. D.

Nobody had R.J. Oben this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 374 spots to get him at the 10th overall pick. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

That Ransom pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 R.J. Oben
In the 10th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 41 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 72nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at Round 5, Pick 10 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A tidy little value on Roc Taylor in slot 197, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235 Rnd7 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 John Campbell Jr.
John Campbell Jr. in No. 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
