Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

The Bears bet big and early on Kain Medrano, 67 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Wease Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 10 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 39 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in pick No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at the 72nd pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Darius Alexander at the 149th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 235th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Value said wait; Kain Medrano in the 242nd overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
