Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Nash: A.

When a board-topper like Nick Nash slides to Round 7, Pick 17, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 15 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tetairoa McMillan at Round 1, Pick 24. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in the 39th pick: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 46 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They did well to land Jonah Savaiinaea in slot 49, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 72nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in pick No. 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They robbed the room for Nick Nash here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Somehow Upton Stout was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
