Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Kendal Daniels at the 241st pick, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Haulcy to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks slipping to No. 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at slot 89 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick130 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They paid sticker price for Logan Jones in the 130th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in Round 5, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A big swing on Roman Hemby at pick 239, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kendal Daniels
Kendal Daniels in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
