Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

When a board-topper like Kewan Lacy slides to No. 89, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

They will need Collins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Clev Lubin
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Princewill Umanmielen
They paid up for Princewill Umanmielen at pick No. 57 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Somehow Kewan Lacy was still sitting there in No. 89, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Xavier Lucas
They paid sticker price for Xavier Lucas in pick 129, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 AJ Green
A straight-up fair deal on AJ Green at Round 5, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Desmond Umeozulu
A premium they did not need to pay, Desmond Umeozulu a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
A real head-scratcher, Thomas Collins in the 241st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
