Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Dayon Hayes selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 59 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hancock. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at pick 41. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A slide stopped in No. 55, with Kaleb Johnson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach for Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A clean, defensible pick in the 86th pick with a little surplus value in Darien Porter. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick No. 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A tidy little value on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at Round 7, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They took Cody Lindenberg at par in the 235th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 242 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
