Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Taaffe: B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Michael Taaffe, the No. 48 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 25 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Banks at pick No. 57 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 89th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
The board had Kevin Coleman Jr. higher than No. 163, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton at the 239th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
They took Jacobe Johnson at par in Round 7, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
