Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bears. For now, C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Solomon Tuliaupupu, 133 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They talked themselves into Gabe Jacas at pick 46, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in slot 92, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jermaine Mathews Jr. this early at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Solomon Tuliaupupu
They reached into another round for Solomon Tuliaupupu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at No. 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A wild overpay on Dominic Zvada in the 230th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at the 248th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
Johntay Cook in No. 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
