Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

The Bears did not so much draft Logan Parr as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Alexander value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 14th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaleb Johnson in the 50th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in slot 232 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dante Trader Jr. at No. 233 squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Parr this early at pick 240. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
