Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent slot 204 on Seth McLaughlin, a name the board had a full 85 spots lower. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Getting Lachey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They liked Josh Conerly Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 50th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in pick 82, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey is a better player than slot 96 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
A wild overpay on Jaydn Ott in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 204th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick254 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at Round 7, Pick 40 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
