Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Jalen Travis went at Round 7, Pick 24, a good 43 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in the 39th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in slot 41, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in No. 45, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 72nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Phillips. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in the 137th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Nick Nash. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at pick No. 240, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
