Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Larceny in the 149th pick lands the Bears a B-, Neal and all.

When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to the 149th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Booker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board fumbled Kenneth Grant all the way to slot 39, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
By-the-book stuff, Tyleik Williams at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 118th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at pick 149 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kobe King
Taking Kobe King in pick No. 197 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at No. 235, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 242 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
