Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Cross III. Final grade: C-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Howard Cross III got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 8.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If Foster pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Fair-plus on Luther Burden III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
The board had Jack Sawyer higher than slot 34, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy bit of business in the 41st overall pick, where Tyleik Williams graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Mitchell Evans
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mitchell Evans. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
They barely believed it either: Xavier Nwankpa still on the board at Round 3, Pick 9. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jacobee Bryant
Jacobee Bryant slipping to pick No. 105 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 110th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd5 Xavier Truss
They jumped the gun on Xavier Truss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Antonio Williams
They read the board right and Antonio Williams was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
They did well to land Jonathan Mendoza in pick No. 169, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Justin Walley
Value with a capital V on Justin Walley in No. 189, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
