Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bears to a C.

The war room fell hard for Taylor Wein, and it showed at pick No. 99: 54 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

On value alone, Stone makes the weekend a net positive. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 3 of 7, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In the 28th overall pick they get an island corner, though they paid up to get him.
Pick59 Rnd2 David Stone
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 27 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson slid further than he should have, and the 90th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Taylor Wein
Taylor Wein in slot 99 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ian Moore
A wild overpay on Ian Moore in pick 130, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
