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

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 26 name on the board, in Round 2, Pick 26. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Every board in the league had Majors lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at slot 39 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 58th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Taking Marcus Mbow in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 89th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
