Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent the Round 6 slot on Alfred Collins, a name most had 66 spots down the list.

On value alone, Horn Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
They paid up for James Pearce Jr. at Round 1, Pick 22 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 46th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A reach for Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick120 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 120 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Value said wait; Mykel Williams in the 149th pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
They reached into another round for Alfred Collins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Omari Thomas
Omari Thomas in pick 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Circle this one: Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 42 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
