Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears land in the muddy middle: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Trevor Goosby, 38 picks ahead of schedule.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Goosby in the Round 1 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edwin Spillman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edwin Spillman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tavion Gadson
Tavion Gadson at the 89th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They took Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at par in No. 129, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Austin Novosad
They paid sticker price for Austin Novosad in the 239th pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tunmise Adeleye
Tunmise Adeleye at slot 241 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
