Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jalen Travis at the 240th overall pick. The Bears jumped the board by 56 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Getting Brooks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: running back settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in the 10th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to slot 41. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at pick 233 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at pick 240, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
