Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent the 233rd overall pick on Jahvaree Ritzie, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. That Trader Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 10 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
The board had cheaper options than Josaiah Stewart at No. 39, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tate Ratledge in the 41st pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 72, where Jalen Royals graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
They reached a country mile for Jahvaree Ritzie at Round 7, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 24, with Dante Trader Jr. worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
