Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 163rd overall pick on Isaiah Jatta, a name most had 35 spots down the list. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Muhammad steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick No. 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at slot 57. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the 79th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad slipping to pick 89 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy little value on Jacob Rodriguez in the 101st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A big swing on Mike Washington Jr. at No. 102, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A quiet steal in pick 114: Caden Curry for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in No. 163 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in the 174th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
No drama and no debate, Raylen Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 187. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
They paid sticker price for Tosh Baker in pick No. 239, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in the 241st overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
