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

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most.

The Bolden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Oatis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In the 25th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57 Rnd2 Isaac Brown
Isaac Brown at Round 2, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris slid further than he should have, and pick 89 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eugene Brooks
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eugene Brooks. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
They paid sticker price for Nico Iamaleava in No. 163, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis at pick No. 239 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaden Rashada
Jaden Rashada at the 241st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
