Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Reese should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Bears will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Reese value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to No. 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at pick 89 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nothing to complain about; Nadame Tucker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Kacmarek. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
