Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: D+.

The James Williams Sr. pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 48 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCoy.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nicholas Singleton in No. 60, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cayden Green
They talked themselves into Cayden Green at pick No. 70, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at pick 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 168th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They liked Bear Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 26. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Williams Sr. this early at slot 244. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in the 257th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
