Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

The Bears bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 29 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 20th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in slot 33. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
They took Mykel Williams at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 20, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They paid up for Oscar Delp at pick 116 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A reach for Jalen Travis in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
