Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Nobody else had Luke Altmyer anywhere near No. 241. The Bears did, by 32 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Allen value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Nothing to complain about; Emmanuel McNeil-Warren went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 57th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick No. 60 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They paid sticker price for Bryce Lance in slot 89, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick 115 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Proctor went about where he belonged in pick No. 129. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Julian Neal in Round 4, Pick 30. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Kaytron Allen at No. 143, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A reach for Nate Boerkircher in the 154th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Altmyer. It fills a real need, too.
