Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kaelon Black at the 168th overall pick regardless, 44 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
The board had Lee Hunter higher than the 62nd overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to slot 89, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They did well to land Davison Igbinosun in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kevin Coleman Jr. at No. 163 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kaelon Black
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaelon Black well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Taking Kaden Wetjen in No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They went early on Bryce Foster in pick No. 241, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
