Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Wease Jr.: A-.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Theo Wease Jr. fell into the Round 7 slot.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 9 they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at No. 110. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 127th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 10, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Circle this one: Justin Rogers at pick No. 186 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Theo Wease Jr. in the 232nd pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
