Draft Grade — Bears

ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 240: the Bears steal Sanker and grade out a B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jonas Sanker, the No. 136 name on the board, in slot 240.

The Ratledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 10 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
No drama and no debate, T.J. Sanders went about where he belonged in the 39th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 9 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in slot 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the 233rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Somehow Jonas Sanker was still sitting there in No. 240, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
