Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The war room fell hard for Jay Toia, and it showed at pick No. 228: 95 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Carter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 14th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Taking Will Johnson in Round 2, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They reached a country mile for JT Tuimoloau at slot 40, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 45th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Samuel Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Samuel Brown at slot 202, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jay Toia
Jay Toia at pick No. 228 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Steal is underselling it; Bryce Foster at No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
