Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kamran James, 135 picks early at Round 6, Pick 30. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Stukes pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They took Gabe Jacas at par in pick No. 47, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Somehow Anthony Hill Jr. was still sitting there in pick 57, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Nice patience on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They will replay D'Angelo Ponds at the 78th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A premium they did not need to pay, Parker Brailsford a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Circle this one: Treydan Stukes at the 129th pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kamran James
A big swing on Kamran James at the 211th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kaden Wetjen in pick No. 239, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Diego Pavia in Round 7, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
