Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The Bears spent real capital to be 43 picks early on Harold Perkins Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stukes.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In No. 26 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
A conviction pick on Keylan Rutledge at the 57th pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy is a better player than pick No. 60 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than slot 89, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at the 129th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They did well to land Zavion Thomas in the 239th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
A clean, defensible pick in the 241st overall pick with a little surplus value in Noah Whittington. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
