Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric O'Neill at pick 170. The Bears jumped the board by 93 and dared it to prove them wrong. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Scott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in Round 2, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
The board had cheaper options than Domonique Orange at No. 62, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 69 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Lew in pick No. 89, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 95th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Jalon Kilgore for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They took Kage Casey at par in the 148th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at Round 5, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Robert Henry Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Henry Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They liked Bryce Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 241. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
