Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Bears torched the value chart for Jared Wiley, taking him 60 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 10th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at Round 1, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 48th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 74 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in pick No. 116, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Walley
No drama and no debate, Justin Walley went about where he belonged in No. 126. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick188 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darius Robinson in Round 6, Pick 13. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at pick 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at the 231st pick, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
