Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 241st pick: the Bears steal Caldwell and grade out a B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jeff Caldwell fell into pick No. 241. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Lawrence proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 25 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a better player than Round 2, Pick 31 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 89, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Rodriguez in No. 95. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They reached a country mile for Malachi Lawrence at the 129th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A quiet steal in pick No. 163: Kage Casey for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
A reach on Desmond Reid in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
The board fumbled Jeff Caldwell all the way to the 241st overall pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
