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

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 27 on Jake Majors a full 75 spots early.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Giddens to cover a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
No edge and no loss on Wyatt Milum in the 18th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
By-the-book stuff, Abdul Carter at slot 33 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 50 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
They reached into another round for Dontay Corleone, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Giddens in the 155th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at Round 6, Pick 29 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at No. 241. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
