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

Nobody else had Hayden Conner anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Bears did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 41 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at the 51st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 5, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 232nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 233rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in No. 240 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
