Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Evans from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mitchell Evans, the No. 154 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 197. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 14th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in No. 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach the 41st overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A tidy little value on Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 72 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 5, Pick 10 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
They barely believed it either: Mitchell Evans still on the board at slot 197. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jacob Parrish at pick No. 234. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
By-the-book stuff, Zeek Biggers at pick No. 235 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Good price on Jaishawn Barham in pick 242, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
