Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Bears will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Jeanty pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Nice patience on Ashton Jeanty, who had no business lasting to Round 1, Pick 14. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick45 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
No drama and no debate, Marcus Mbow went about where he belonged in No. 45. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in pick 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had cheaper options than Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 143rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the 233rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick 236 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson is a better player than the 240th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in slot 241 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
