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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 7 slot on Graham Mertz, a name most had 93 spots down the list. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The King steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 20 they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 72nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at pick No. 85, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 193rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed is a better player than the 197th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King at slot 199 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A big swing on Graham Mertz at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
They barely believed it either: Jonas Sanker still on the board at No. 235. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in pick 242 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
