Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Nobody had R.J. Mickens this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 66 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Kelvin Banks Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in slot 39, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid a round early for Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 41, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 R.J. Mickens
A real head-scratcher, R.J. Mickens in the 148th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Pat Bryant at the 149th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at pick 247. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
