Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Styles from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Sonny Styles tumbling to the Bears in the 241st pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at slot 61 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in No. 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kayden McDonald
Somehow Kayden McDonald was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 LJ Martin
Taking LJ Martin in the 245th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
