Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Bears left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

The McNeil-Warren value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They let Emmanuel McNeil-Warren come to them and pounced at pick 57. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than No. 60 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Value with a capital V on Mike Washington Jr. in the 89th pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 129th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at pick No. 239 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
