Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Tyson. Final grade: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jordyn Tyson fell into slot 239. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In the end it comes back to David Bailey, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 29 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 57th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Circle this one: Spencer Fano at Round 3, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They will replay D'Angelo Ponds at pick 82 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kayden McDonald in No. 97, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick No. 129. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in the 163rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordyn Tyson
They robbed the room for Jordyn Tyson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Lee Hunter
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Lee Hunter reach the 241st overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
