Rocy2026 DRAFTING FOR THEBears
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
Golday should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Golday got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Pettaway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 89 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the 129th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 163; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway in No. 239 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241
Rnd7
Rueben Owens II
They took Rueben Owens II at par in pick No. 241, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
