Draft Grade — Bears
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears let Rakestraw Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

Call it larceny. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. sat on the board until slot 71, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The veteran additions, Breece Hall chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, with Nate Wiggins leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Morgan at pick No. 35 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A slide stopped in the 41st pick, with Tyler Nubin worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in slot 49, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Circle this one: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at No. 71 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They read the board right and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was the payoff at No. 75. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
The board had Gabriel Murphy higher than the 96th pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slid further than he should have, and pick 99 is lovely value for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, McKinnley Jackson at the 102nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Bucky Irving for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to slot 111 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
The board fumbled Marshawn Kneeland all the way to Round 4, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at slot 128 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Mohamed Kamara graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 132nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg is a better player than the 139th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They let Jalyx Hunt come to them and pounced at pick No. 143. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
The board had cheaper options than Joe Milton III at No. 158, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Nice patience on Grayson Murphy, who had no business lasting to pick 183. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 196th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Knox in Round 6, Pick 22. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in No. 211 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in slot 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Steal is underselling it; Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick219 Rnd6 AJ Barner
Value with a capital V on AJ Barner in pick 219, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tanor Bortolini
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tanor Bortolini in the 255th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
