Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesF FutureA-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 17 lands the Bears a B-, Sanders and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Sanders fell into slot 233. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a three-down runner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in pick No. 43 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at the 72nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in Round 4, Pick 9, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
Steal is underselling it; Josaiah Stewart at slot 118 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick 140 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Maxwell Hairston
You do not let a cornerback like Maxwell Hairston reach slot 179 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylin Noel
The board fumbled Jaylin Noel all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 233rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Kennard
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
