Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B-.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jared Wilson at slot 147 regardless, 71 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

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

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 9th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 35 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyleik Williams a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 David Walker
David Walker in slot 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
