Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bears let Jeanty fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ashton Jeanty fell into the Round 7 slot.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Christian Darrisaw gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A slide stopped in slot 41, with Jack Sawyer worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Steal is underselling it; Tate Ratledge at No. 71 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
You do not let a running back like Kaleb Johnson reach the 144th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
They barely believed it either: Dylan Fairchild still on the board at the 200th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in pick No. 229, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
