Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bears did exactly that with Mason Reiger in the 99th pick.

The Roush pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Spending an early pick on safety with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in the 53rd pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Emmanuel McNeil-Warren while clear needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick60 Rnd2 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at pick 60 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in slot 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A slide stopped in the 85th overall pick, with Domonique Orange worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mason Reiger
A big swing on Mason Reiger at the 99th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sam Roush
A tight end of that caliber at pick 121 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
No drama and no debate, Parker Brailsford went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 29. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
