Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Clay Webb at slot 41 is 157 spots clear of where he belonged. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Golden. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 10 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Steal is underselling it; Matthew Golden at slot 39 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
A big swing on Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A quiet steal in the 148th overall pick: Brashard Smith for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at pick 233 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick240 Rnd7 Chandler Martin
Chandler Martin at the 240th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
