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

The Bears went off the board in a big way for Kalil Alexander, 54 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at the 57th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at Round 3, Pick 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in No. 129 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at slot 163, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Hall. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Christian Gray
A wild overpay on Christian Gray in pick No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
