Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bears.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 233rd pick on Dayon Hayes, a name most had 78 spots down the list.

Castro at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Value with a capital V on Ashton Jeanty in Round 1, Pick 10, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They read the board right and Derrick Harmon was the payoff at slot 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Higgins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to pick 148, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
A wild overpay on Dayon Hayes in the 233rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Jabbar Muhammad in slot 240; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
