Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Tony Rojas, 35 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Iheanachor pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald slipping to No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
The board had cheaper options than Lee Hunter at the 57th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A premium they did not need to pay, Caden Curry a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman in slot 129 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 141. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They will replay Max Iheanachor at the 163rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tony Grimes in No. 239. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas in pick 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
