Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Thor Griffith at No. 228, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Landing Barham that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
A clean, defensible pick in No. 13 with a little surplus value in Mason Graham. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A swing that ignored the value entirely, JT Tuimoloau well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy little value on Tyler Booker in the 44th pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Nelson in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 122nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 146th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in pick No. 244 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
You do not let a linebacker like Jaishawn Barham reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
