Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent pick 116 on Tyler Baron, a name most had 47 spots down the list. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Winston Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 20th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Sawyer in the 33rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 52 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They paid sticker price for Anthony Belton in pick No. 84, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Value said wait; Oscar Delp in pick 110 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in slot 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Thor Griffith this early at No. 148. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at Round 6, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 182. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
