Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB+
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Graham Mertz, 87 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Knight Jr.. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Adding Calijah Kancey by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 19th overall pick they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They went early on Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in Round 3, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They will replay Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 130 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 149th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at the 235th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick No. 242 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
