Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Nobody else had Jasheen Davis anywhere near Round 7, Pick 24. The Bears did, by 119 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 10 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at No. 39 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to pick 41. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at slot 72 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in the 148th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They reached a country mile for Cooper Mays at Round 7, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in No. 240 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
