Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

The Bears spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A tidy bit of business in slot 10, where Ashton Jeanty graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at No. 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
