Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Xavier Thomas in the Round 7 slot, a good 38 spots before the room expected him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 5 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 105th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Batty well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ali Jennings
Ali Jennings in No. 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A wild overpay on Xavier Thomas in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
