Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Bears let Pearsall fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Pearsall where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Jordan Addison leading the way. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 9th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to pick 42, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A clean, defensible pick in the 59th overall pick with a little surplus value in Braden Fiske. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Steal is underselling it; Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at No. 127. It fills a real need, too.
