Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Taylen Green, 77 picks ahead of schedule.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 25th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Tiernan. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at No. 89 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
