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

Some picks age like wine; Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 129 will need to, sitting 63 spots clear of his grade.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In slot 25 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at No. 57 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in the 89th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. in pick No. 129 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Good price on Reggie Virgil in pick 163, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Nothing to complain about; Andre Fuller went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 241 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
