Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Alfred Collins, 66 picks ahead of schedule.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in slot 37 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick46 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Wyatt Milum. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in the 149th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
They talked themselves into Alfred Collins at pick 201, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Omari Thomas
They reached a country mile for Omari Thomas at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
A reach on Mitchell Evans in No. 256; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
