Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Bears bet big and early on Ainias Smith, 61 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick8
Rnd1
Javon Bullard
In pick No. 8 they get a downhill hitter at safety, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in slot 35 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in pick 36, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 40th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 4. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 103 on Tykee Smith with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at No. 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in slot 132, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
