Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

There is reaching, and then there is Jay Toia at slot 228. The Bears jumped the board by 86 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Getting Carter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and quarterback.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 24th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 43 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A surprising call. With edge rusher and quarterback still to address, they spent Round 2, Pick 16 on Sonny Styles, a safety they were not short of.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 79 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the 90th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
A big swing on Benjamin Morrison at pick No. 154, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at pick 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jay Toia
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jay Toia this early at slot 228. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
They reached a country mile for Julian Fleming at the 237th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in No. 243, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They will replay Jaishawn Barham at the 247th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick 249, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
