Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C.

The Bears did not so much draft Makhi Hughes as overpay for him, 307 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The final tally is a middling C.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

If Makhi Hughes and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Makhi Hughes
In pick 25 they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in slot 57, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Quay'sheed Scott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quay'sheed Scott this early at Round 3, Pick 25. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nicholas Rodriguez
Nothing to complain about; Nicholas Rodriguez went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 John Mateer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, John Mateer well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell in the 239th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
They talked themselves into Elliot Washington II at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
