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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Thompkins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Guarnera left real value on the table behind him.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
A slide stopped in the 60th pick, with Kade Pieper worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in pick 92 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Marcus Neal Jr.
They let Marcus Neal Jr. come to them and pounced at the 129th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Drake Lindsey
Drake Lindsey at Round 5, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
A real head-scratcher, Jake Guarnera in slot 206 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
They paid a round early for Johntay Cook in pick No. 248, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
