Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Kaleb Proctor at the 60th pick, roughly 75 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 25 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kaleb Proctor
They talked themselves into Kaleb Proctor at pick 60, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They paid sticker price for Bryce Lance in the 93rd overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in the 108th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They barely believed it either: Jalon Kilgore still on the board at Round 4, Pick 29. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A wild overpay on Nolan Rucci in the 239th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in slot 241 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
