Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

NeedB

FutureA+
The Bears won the night they stopped Hood from sliding. Grade: B. Thirty-one other rooms let Colton Hood slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 248th overall pick. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick70
Rnd3
David Bailey
David Bailey at the 70th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
The board fumbled Mansoor Delane all the way to slot 89, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in Round 4, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in No. 129 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kayden McDonald
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick No. 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at pick 199. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at the 205th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jermod McCoy
You do not let a cornerback like Jermod McCoy reach pick 219 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232
Rnd7
Adon Shuler
They will replay Adon Shuler at slot 232 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick235
Rnd7
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the 235th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Kobi Lane
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Kobi Lane in the 239th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241
Rnd7
Romello Height
Circle this one: Romello Height at Round 7, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Colton Hood
Taking Colton Hood in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at pick No. 249 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Taurean York
They robbed the room for Taurean York here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
