Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B.

Some picks age like wine; JJ Pegues at the 148th overall pick will need to, sitting 34 spots clear of his grade.

The Longerbeam value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They paid sticker price for Will Campbell in slot 10, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Good price on Kaleb Johnson in the 51st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Jack Bech. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 81st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Slater in No. 122, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 179 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam slipping to Round 7, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
