Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bears, and a C+ to match.

Nobody had Miles Frazier this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 139 spots to get him at pick No. 73. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

Paul Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jake Majors
Value said wait; Jake Majors in pick No. 36 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 40th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in the 146th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
