Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Tyler Baron, 48 picks ahead of schedule.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Adding BJ Hill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emery Jones
Emery Jones in pick No. 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
A reach on Mykel Williams in the 33rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
Good price on Patrick Payton in the 52nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 60 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 84 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They jumped the gun on Oscar Delp, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in pick 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at No. 182 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
