Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

FutureA+
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
The Sadiq pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Thieneman pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 2 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the 16th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Dontay Corleone
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 26th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas in slot 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick28
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Lomu. The roster fit checks out.
Pick33
Rnd2
Christen Miller
They took Christen Miller at par in the 33rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenyon Sadiq at No. 35. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick37
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
They paid sticker price for Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 5, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38
Rnd2
Romello Height
By-the-book stuff, Romello Height at slot 38 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
No edge and no loss on Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent pick 49 on Dillon Thieneman, a safety they were not short of.
Pick55
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
They let Elijah Sarratt come to them and pounced at pick No. 55. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jadarian Price
Nice patience on Jadarian Price, who had no business lasting to the 66th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
No drama and no debate, Malik Muhammad went about where he belonged in pick 75. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in No. 118 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in slot 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 153rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7
Trebor Pena
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 229, where Trebor Pena graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
They did well to land Desmond Reid in Round 7, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
