Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 2 slot: the Bears steal Warren and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Tyler Warren slides to No. 39, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Grant lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 10 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 39 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick 41, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They paid sticker price for Pat Bryant in Round 5, Pick 10, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Good price on Cam Jackson in No. 233, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at the 240th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
