Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Harris: B.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Bears will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Harris steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If Jackson Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 56 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
You do not let a cornerback like A.J. Harris reach Round 3, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Fair-plus on Zakee Wheatley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in No. 131 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Good price on Kage Casey in the 163rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They let Jalon Daniels come to them and pounced at slot 236. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at Round 7, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
