Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent the 57th overall pick on Dani Dennis-Sutton, a name the board had a full 29 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Trost value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 29th pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A big swing on Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 57th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter slipping to No. 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 109 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 129th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Value said wait; Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in slot 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in No. 239 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas at pick No. 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
