Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Richard Jibunor, 108 picks early at the 225th overall pick. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The Walker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Jonathan Allen leading the way.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a mismatch in the passing game. More want than need.
Pick17 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 17 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner slipping to No. 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than slot 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A quiet steal in pick 68: Trey Benson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 D.J. James
D.J. James in slot 105 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 141 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Devontez Walker
Somehow Devontez Walker was still sitting there in the 182nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaden Hicks
They will replay Jaden Hicks at Round 6, Pick 40 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick225 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
They talked themselves into Richard Jibunor at No. 225, and the board did not agree. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
