Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bears let Thieneman fall into their laps, and walked away with a D.

The Bears lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Washington Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The Thieneman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 25th pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Thieneman at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Circle this one: Caleb Banks at the 60th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
They barely believed it either: Sam Hecht still on the board at No. 105. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis slipping to pick 114 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They read the board right and Kage Casey was the payoff at the 163rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid a round early for De'Zhaun Stribling in pick 241, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
