Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
The Bears let Ewers fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinn Ewers slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 197th pick. Highway robbery.

They will need McLeod to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick No. 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 41st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They did well to land Dylan Sampson in Round 3, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 101 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They robbed the room for Tez Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in slot 133 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in the 158th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at pick No. 197 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 198th overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to pick 235, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Circle this one: Trey Zuhn III at the 237th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
