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

Nobody else had Thor Griffith anywhere near the 148th pick. The Bears did, by 38 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Wohler at that price is a win they earned.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 28th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Kevin Winston Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 52nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick 84 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
The board had cheaper options than Rylie Mills at No. 110, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They paid a round early for Oscar Delp in pick No. 116, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 R.J. Oben
A premium they did not need to pay, R.J. Oben a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 148th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They jumped the gun on Seth McLaughlin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Nice patience on Hunter Wohler, who had no business lasting to No. 182. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
