Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears drew a line under the quarterback search with Penix Jr.: C+.

The Bears put a flag in the ground for DeMonte Capehart, 79 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Melton at that price is a win they earned.

If Michael Penix Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 7 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 110, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton is a better player than the 127th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at Round 6, Pick 11. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brennan Armstrong
A real head-scratcher, Brennan Armstrong in the 232nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
