Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the 239th pick on Korey Foreman, a name most had 45 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Pregnon to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 LT Overton
In No. 25 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Taking Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 57 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the 89th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 129, where Keylan Rutledge graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
They paid sticker price for Earnest Greene III in slot 163, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at Round 7, Pick 23 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They reached a country mile for Keaten Wade at pick 241, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
