Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The war room fell hard for Kaleb Elarms-Orr, and it showed at the 129th overall pick: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

They banked enough surplus on Slaughter to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the 89th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A straight-up fair deal on Aamil Wagner at slot 163, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Barrett. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
