Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Allen Lazard gives the group a proven body among the projects. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They took Kaleb Johnson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Ivey at the 72nd pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Fair-plus on Mitchell Evans, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
No edge and no loss on Cam Horsley in No. 233; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A clean, defensible pick in the 240th overall pick with a little surplus value in Isaac TeSlaa. It fills a real need, too.
