Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
Reese should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a D+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Curry pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On value alone, Reese makes the weekend a net positive.

The Stefon Diggs deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and A.J. Haulcy at the 64th pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They paid a round early for Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They paid sticker price for Skyler Gill-Howard in pick 129, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun slipping to No. 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They paid up for Alex Harkey at pick No. 239 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Micah Morris
By-the-book stuff, Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
