Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

For all the boxes ticked, the Bears skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bolden. The Oatis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
They read the board right and KJ Bolden was the payoff at the 25th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaac Brown
They took Isaac Brown at par in slot 57, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 25 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eugene Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Eugene Brooks at the 129th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nico Iamaleava. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jehiem Oatis
They paid a round early for Jehiem Oatis in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaden Rashada
A tidy little value on Jaden Rashada in pick No. 241, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
