Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

Nobody had Jaylen Wright this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 223 spots to get him at pick No. 225. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick14 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 28, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Powers-Johnson this early at the 68th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 91st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at slot 104 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in Round 4, Pick 19 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at the 132nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A quiet steal in pick 141: Connor Colby for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick No. 165 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Gerald Mincey
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gerald Mincey. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 192 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the defensive back. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaylen Wright
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in the 225th pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
