Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Bears bet big and early on Justice Haynes, 70 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Kayvon Thibodeaux deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Justice Haynes
A big swing on Justice Haynes at pick No. 47, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 78th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 105. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Fair-plus on Jaishawn Barham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
No edge and no loss on Parker Brailsford in pick 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
They jumped the gun on Monroe Mills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Harvey at slot 198, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Foster. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at No. 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
Johntay Cook at Round 7, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
