Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Dixon should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Thaddeus Dixon at the 257th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Burke lower, and that gap is the story. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 26th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Peter Woods at slot 57 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at the 62nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamari Ramsey at the Round 3 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
No drama and no debate, Sam Hecht went about where he belonged in pick No. 91. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
You do not let a wide receiver like Ted Hurst reach Round 4, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at pick 129 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Travis Burke
They jumped the gun on Travis Burke, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
A tidy little value on Jaren Kanak in slot 239, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
Somehow Tyren Montgomery was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Thaddeus Dixon at No. 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
