Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Key Lawrence at No. 225 regardless, 79 picks early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Terry McLaurin pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value.
Pick7 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 7th overall pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nothing to complain about; Nate Wiggins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in No. 68; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 104th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 132 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
No edge and no loss on Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Key Lawrence
A real head-scratcher, Key Lawrence in pick 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
