Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB NeedA TradesF FutureB-
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 29 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in the 180th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marques Cox
A straight-up fair deal on Marques Cox at slot 182, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
