Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mikail Kamara at the 89th overall pick, a reach of 26 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman. With running back, linebacker and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Circle this one: Dillon Thieneman at the 57th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 89th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129
Rnd4
Bud Clark
A surprising call. With running back, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent No. 129 on Bud Clark, a safety they were not short of.
Pick163
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at Round 5, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Andre Fuller. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
