Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Haulcy fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like A.J. Haulcy slides to pick No. 89, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Owens II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 25 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No drama and no debate, Lee Hunter went about where he belonged in slot 57. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 89th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at pick 163 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A reach for Rueben Owens II in Round 7, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
The board had cheaper options than Tosh Baker at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
