Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears robbed the room for Elarms-Orr. Final grade: A.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kaleb Elarms-Orr slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 228th pick. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Payton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and Round 1, Pick 20 is lovely value for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33 Rnd2 Makai Lemon
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Makai Lemon in the 33rd overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at slot 57 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
The board had Lee Hunter higher than pick No. 60, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Taking Jalon Kilgore in the 140th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A straight-up fair deal on Zane Durant at No. 179, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
You do not let a linebacker like Kaleb Elarms-Orr reach the 228th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick No. 242 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
