Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 28 lands the Bears a B, Thieneman and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dillon Thieneman tumbling to the Bears in pick 60 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Claiborne pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at pick No. 89 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan in the 126th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
They reached a country mile for Demond Claiborne at the 129th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
They took Kaleb Proctor at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They reached into another round for Robert Spears-Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
A clean, defensible pick in No. 241 with a little surplus value in Charles Demmings. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
