Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 3 slot on Chris McClellan, a name most had 48 spots down the list.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 57th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chris McClellan
A real head-scratcher, Chris McClellan in slot 89 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in No. 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
They liked Kaleb Proctor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 155. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in pick 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at slot 239 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at Round 7, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
