Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Bears robbed the room for Singer. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dorian Singer slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 226th overall pick. Highway robbery.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McCarthy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 5 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
They took Kris Abrams-Draine at par in the 37th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
They robbed the room for Troy Fautanu here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Rod Moore
Steal is underselling it; Rod Moore at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 5, where Nazir Stackhouse graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 142nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Nelson at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
They will replay Dorian Singer at pick 226 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
