Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent No. 225 on Trey Knox, a name most had 51 spots down the list.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 2nd pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No drama and no debate, Brock Bowers went about where he belonged in the 4th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 21 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in pick No. 104, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
The board fumbled Roman Wilson all the way to pick 132, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at Round 5, Pick 5. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
A quiet steal in pick No. 182: Lathan Ransom for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Knox this early at No. 225. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
