Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaydn Ott; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 33 spots ahead at slot 129. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deontae Lawson in pick 62. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 74 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at Round 3, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Blake Miller
This one needs a full-page explanation: Blake Miller in No. 89, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A real head-scratcher, Davison Igbinosun in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A quiet steal in the 126th pick: Jaeden Roberts for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaydn Ott
They talked themselves into Jaydn Ott at pick 129, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
They took Jaden Greathouse at par in No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at the 163rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Jermaine Mathews Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
No edge and no loss on Jalil Farooq in the 241st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
