Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 241: the Bears steal Restrepo and grade out a B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Restrepo fell into pick No. 241.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 18th pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at pick No. 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick 50 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at No. 82 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in Round 6, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Somehow Xavier Restrepo was still sitting there in the 241st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
