Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in the 232nd overall pick lands the Bears a C+, Neyor and all.

The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

Getting Neyor where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

If Laiatu Latu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin slid further than he should have, and pick No. 43 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They took Mekhi Wingo at par in Round 3, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the 75th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in slot 125 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Johnson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 186th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They robbed the room for Isaiah Neyor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
