Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Lew: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Connor Lew had no business being available in No. 241, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Myles Garrett by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 26th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 David Bailey
Steal is underselling it; David Bailey at the 60th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy is a better player than pick No. 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at pick 131 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Connor Lew
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach No. 241 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cayden Green
Somehow Cayden Green was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in slot 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
