Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for Jimmy Horn Jr., 109 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Monheim. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and No. 72 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick149 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A real head-scratcher, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 5, Pick 10 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach pick No. 197 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They paid a round early for Brandon Adams in the 235th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in slot 242 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
