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

Of all the ways to open, the Bears chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 4, Pick 29 on Jakobe Thomas with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still wide open. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 25 they get a rangy last line of defense, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at No. 57 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
They did well to land Josiah Trotter in pick No. 60, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
They paid a round early for Chandler Rivers in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Jakobe Thomas in Round 4, Pick 29 leaves interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
No edge and no loss on Kendrick Law in pick 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Robert Henry Jr.
Robert Henry Jr. in the 241st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
