Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Sarratt: B.

When a board-topper like Elijah Sarratt slides to Round 4, Pick 26, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The cost of the Onyedim reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 25th pick they get a security blanket over the middle. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Nice patience on A.J. Haulcy, who had no business lasting to the 60th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Value with a capital V on Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 89, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 91 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Sarratt at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
You do not let a cornerback like Treydan Stukes reach Round 4, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Somehow Isaiah World was still sitting there in No. 167, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Skyler Gill-Howard at pick 168 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
Tyler Onyedim at pick No. 239 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
They barely believed it either: Kaden Wetjen still on the board at the 241st overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
