Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Logan Brown at pick No. 73, roughly 78 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Majors to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 9 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Charles Grant
They talked themselves into Charles Grant at pick No. 36, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A conviction pick on Tyleik Williams at Round 2, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Logan Brown
They reached into another round for Logan Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 146th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at pick 203 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijhah Badger this early at the 228th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at No. 244 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
