Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Jordan Hall in the Round 7 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That Dixon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
The board had cheaper options than Michael Taaffe at Round 2, Pick 25, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60 Rnd2 Treydan Stukes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Treydan Stukes well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 129 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Value said wait; Pat Coogan in slot 165 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in pick 220, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at pick No. 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
