Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Taaffe from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Michael Taaffe slides to No. 91, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 57th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at pick No. 91. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at Round 3, Pick 30 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
No drama and no debate, Skyler Gill-Howard went about where he belonged in slot 130. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sam Roush
They let Sam Roush come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick166 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at No. 166 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaylon Braxton
No edge and no loss on Jaylon Braxton in the 239th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law at the 241st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
