Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Nobody had Squirrel White this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 168 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thieneman.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Good price on Sonny Styles in pick No. 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daylen Everette at the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 129 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Proctor went about where he belonged in pick 163. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They paid sticker price for Cole Payton in the 239th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Squirrel White
Squirrel White in the 241st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
