Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 129th overall pick on Vincent Anthony Jr. a full 44 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Igbinosun where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They did well to land Gennings Dunker in slot 57, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at No. 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A wild overpay on Vincent Anthony Jr. in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 163rd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
A slide stopped in pick No. 239, with Jalen Catalon worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They jumped the gun on Alex Harkey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
