Draft Grade — Bears

FutureB
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent pick 241 on Jamari Lyons, a name the board had a full 103 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Treydan Stukes
They paid a round early for Treydan Stukes in the 63rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
A slide stopped in pick No. 92, with Daylen Everette worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
Good price on Jalen Farmer in No. 116, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the 129th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oscar Delp. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152
Rnd5
Malik Benson
Malik Benson at slot 152 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Demond Claiborne in the 177th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They took Jeff Caldwell at par in Round 6, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Latrell McCutchin Sr. in pick No. 239. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at pick 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
