Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice running back is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most.

The Foster pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They paid sticker price for Gabe Jacas in No. 57, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
By-the-book stuff, Keionte Scott at pick No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Good price on Skyler Bell in pick 89, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
The board had cheaper options than Skyler Gill-Howard at the 129th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brent Austin
A clean, defensible pick in the 239th pick with a little surplus value in Brent Austin. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They paid a round early for Bryce Foster in slot 241, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
