Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Gadsden II should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 180 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 235. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the 39th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 72 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They robbed the room for Oronde Gadsden II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They barely believed it either: Alijah Huzzie still on the board at slot 242. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
