Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Mesidor fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Akheem Mesidor, the No. 37 name on the board, sitting there at the 239th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 David Bailey
They will replay David Bailey at pick No. 57 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 60 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at the 94th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Spencer Fano
Circle this one: Spencer Fano at the 129th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kayden McDonald
They barely believed it either: Kayden McDonald still on the board at pick 130. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
They robbed the room for Akheem Mesidor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at Round 7, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
