Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bears would have aced it. Tim Smith at pick No. 233 is 65 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Kandra. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They talked themselves into Alfred Collins at the 41st pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at pick No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Nothing to complain about; Andrew Mukuba went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
The board had Danny Stutsman higher than slot 94, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 147th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Circle this one: Joshua Gray at the 193rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Value said wait; Tim Smith in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Bryan Felter
They reached into another round for Bryan Felter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
