Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Thieneman: B-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Dillon Thieneman, the No. 34 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 2 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Josephs proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In slot 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in pick No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in pick 60 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 Treydan Stukes
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Treydan Stukes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A reach for Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Good price on Charles Demmings in the 241st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
