Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB+
Grand theft in pick 241: the Bears steal Thornton Jr. and grade out a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 241 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Adding D.J. Jones by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They paid sticker price for Will Campbell in slot 22, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick50 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at the 50th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A tidy bit of business in No. 82, where Ashton Gillotte graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 17, with Jaeden Roberts worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaydn Ott. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 241st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
