Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. The Leonard value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Kenneth Murray Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 12 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 Tre Harris
A big swing on Tre Harris at No. 39, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 72nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in pick 76 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in slot 148 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Baron at pick No. 149, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 233rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at the 240th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
