Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The war room fell hard for Tim Keenan III, and it showed at pick 89: 49 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Landing Thieneman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at Round 1, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in the 57th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tim Keenan III
Value said wait; Tim Keenan III in the 89th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They paid up for Kyle Louis at No. 129 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
They paid sticker price for Tony Grimes in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They jumped the gun on Jordan Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
