Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Lander Barton selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 53 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Price pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton at pick 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Austin Barber
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Barber well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
A conviction pick on Domonique Orange at No. 57 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
Value said wait; Malachi Fields in slot 59 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in Round 3, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
You do not let a safety like Zakee Wheatley reach the 87th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Xavier Scott
They liked Xavier Scott enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chase Bisontis this early at pick No. 90. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Lander Barton
They reached into another round for Lander Barton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in pick 129. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Fair-plus on Jermaine Mathews Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hall at slot 239 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 241st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
