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

The Bears spent real capital to be 123 picks early on Aidan Hubbard, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wright falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In No. 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than the 57th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
The board had Jacob Rodriguez higher than the Round 2 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at slot 89 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaytron Allen. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at pick No. 239 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Aidan Hubbard
A big swing on Aidan Hubbard at slot 241, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
