Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Nazir Stackhouse at slot 149 is 44 spots clear of where he belonged.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They did well to land Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in the 72nd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at slot 149 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at the 235th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Nothing to complain about; Kitan Crawford went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
