Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Horton: B.

When a board-topper like Tory Horton slides to slot 148, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 10 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to No. 39. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach the 148th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
