Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 89: the Bears steal Price and grade out a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Price falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at the 39th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A slide stopped in the 57th overall pick, with Brandon Cisse worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in pick 70, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in Round 4, Pick 7, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Rivers. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at Round 5, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 144th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
Good price on Brenen Thompson in No. 163, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II in slot 239 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
No drama and no debate, Jordan Hall went about where he belonged in pick No. 241. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
