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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bears walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cayden Green
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Jackson
No edge and no loss on Jayden Jackson in slot 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Rod Moore
The board had Rod Moore higher than pick 89, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
