Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Bears let Reed fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Jaylen Reed, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at the 223rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Hamilton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 14 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at the 39th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at the 41st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Fannin Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 50. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slid further than he should have, and pick 92 is lovely value for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Pat Bryant. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at slot 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at Round 7, Pick 17 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach for Ty Hamilton in slot 240; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
