Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Patrick Payton at slot 126 regardless, 56 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ramsey. The Bears indulged a want in Ramsey while a need in cornerback and quarterback stayed open.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 16 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A surprising call. With cornerback and quarterback still to address, they spent the 80th overall pick on Kamari Ramsey, a safety they were not short of.
Pick89 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
You do not let a wide receiver like Aaron Anderson reach pick 155 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A quiet steal in the 164th pick: Lander Barton for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They went early on Fernando Carmona in the 194th overall pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at No. 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Austin Siereveld
A conviction pick on Austin Siereveld at slot 248 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
