Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Kaden Wetjen. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Getting Hall where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick 26 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at the 62nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 89th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at slot 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They let Darrell Jackson Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 8. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 29, with Parker Brailsford worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaden Wetjen
Value said wait; Kaden Wetjen in pick No. 163 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Stroman at the 168th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239 Rnd7 TJ Hall
You do not let a cornerback like TJ Hall reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
No drama and no debate, Fa'alili Fa'amoe went about where he belonged in slot 241. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Fair-plus on Luke Altmyer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 255th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
