Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kelvin Gilliam Jr. in slot 241, a good 125 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at No. 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at slot 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 163, where Davison Igbinosun graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in pick 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kelvin Gilliam Jr.
A wild overpay on Kelvin Gilliam Jr. in the 241st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
