Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Thompson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Brenen Thompson sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They barely believed it either: Arvell Reese still on the board at pick No. 57. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 89th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Keylan Rutledge
Somehow Keylan Rutledge was still sitting there in No. 163, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
The board fumbled Eli Heidenreich all the way to the 239th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
