Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Adam Randall pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 56 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Thomas steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick No. 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slipping to slot 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn at the 91st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They went early on Beau Stephens in No. 129, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dalton Johnson
They reached into another round for Dalton Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They reached a country mile for Adam Randall at pick 220, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A quiet steal in slot 239: Zavion Thomas for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick No. 241 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
