Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The phones sank the Bears this weekend: B-.

The Bears spent real capital to be 84 picks early on Jalen Rivers, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 22 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
The board had cheaper options than Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 41, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in Round 5, Pick 10 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They did well to land Jack Kiser in the 193rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in pick 197 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at pick No. 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers at the 240th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
