Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Ferguson from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Terrance Ferguson got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at slot 149.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Hemingway proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slid further than he should have, and Round 1, Pick 10 is lovely value for the running back. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at pick 39, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Bond at the 72nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
A tight end of that caliber at the 149th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 197 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Somehow R.J. Mickens was still sitting there in slot 235, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A premium they did not need to pay, Tonka Hemingway a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
