Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 53 spots ahead at the 124th pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 28 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 33, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at slot 52 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at the 60th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They paid a round early for Oscar Delp in Round 4, Pick 14, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 4, Pick 20 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at pick No. 124, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 148 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, Noah Thomas a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 182nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ty French
Ty French in pick 220 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
