Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureA
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 6 lands the Bears a C, Roberts and all.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Bears, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The Roberts steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Brade pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

So much rides on Laiatu Latu that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 5 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in No. 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They went early on Beau Brade in the 105th pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at No. 142 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jamari Thrash at the Round 6 slot is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
A cornerback of that caliber at the 226th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
