Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Thor Griffith, taking him 29 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenneth Grant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in the 52nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 84 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
The board had cheaper options than Oscar Delp at No. 110, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
No edge and no loss on Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
They paid a round early for Noah Thomas in pick 180, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They went early on Jalen Travis in the 182nd pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
