Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Tyler Loop a full 64 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mukuba. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than pick No. 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at No. 41. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 119th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 144th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
They reached into another round for Tyler Loop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
