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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 39 spots for Adam Randall, and value like that does not grow back. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Caldwell. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A tidy bit of business in pick 57, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A big swing on Caden Curry at pick No. 89, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Jones at the 129th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at slot 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Value said wait; Adam Randall in No. 239 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 241st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
