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

The Bears bet big and early on Josh Conerly Jr., 26 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In slot 20 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Conerly Jr. in Round 2, Pick 1, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Parker Brailsford this early at the 53rd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deion Burks
No edge and no loss on Deion Burks in the 84th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy little value on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 110, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A slide stopped in No. 116, with Keon Sabb worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in No. 135 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jo'Quavious Marks
A premium they did not need to pay, Jo'Quavious Marks a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
They jumped the gun on Tyler Baron, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
