Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Penix Jr.. Grade: C-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Landing Milton III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Every board in the league had Haynesworth lower, and that gap is the story.

So much rides on Michael Penix Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in pick No. 37, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
A clean, defensible pick in pick 87 with a little surplus value in Malachi Corley. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Audric Estime in Round 4, Pick 10. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at pick No. 146 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 177th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A slide stopped in the 232nd pick, with Miyan Williams worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
