Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Bears left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Curry has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 57 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick 89 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in J.C. Davis. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 163rd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
No drama and no debate, Rueben Owens II went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
They paid up for Jaquaize Pettaway at pick No. 241 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
