Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bears skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Egbuka. The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Will Campbell at pick 10, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at No. 41. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They paid a round early for Deone Walker in the 72nd pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 233 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
