Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Taylor fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Mason Taylor tumbling to the Bears in pick 197 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Micah Parsons gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 147th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
You do not let a tight end like Mason Taylor reach slot 197 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at pick No. 233 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They barely believed it either: Xavier Nwankpa still on the board at No. 244. A minor itch, scratched.
