Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Bears left running back untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Golday steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every board in the league had Iheanachor lower, and that gap is the story.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in the 57th pick, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Value with a capital V on Jake Golday in slot 94, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 129th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
The board had cheaper options than Max Iheanachor at pick No. 130, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
They took Will Kacmarek at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law at Round 7, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
