Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Zy Alexander at the 256th overall pick is 84 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 22 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at pick No. 37, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
They reached into another round for Parker Brailsford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Simmons in the 53rd pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
They paid up for Abdul Carter at Round 3, Pick 37 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Value said wait; Jonah Coleman in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at pick No. 120 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
No drama and no debate, Nic Anderson went about where he belonged in pick 149. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They paid sticker price for Garrett Dellinger in No. 186, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 201st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A wild overpay on Alfred Collins in slot 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 245th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
Value with a capital V on Giles Jackson in Round 7, Pick 40, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zy Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
