Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Caden Prieskorn at pick 240, roughly 129 spots before his name belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Starks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ashton Jeanty in Round 1, Pick 10. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 39, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A premium they did not need to pay, Jack Sawyer a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A reach for Charles Grant in slot 72; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at No. 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 233rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caden Prieskorn. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
