Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
A-

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears robbed the room for Wright. Final grade: A-. When a board-topper like Jaylen Wright slides to the 204th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If Milton III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Carlton Davis III leading the way.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick33
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 38th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
They read the board right and Kamren Kinchens was the payoff at pick 44. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in No. 49 with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51
Rnd2
Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in slot 51. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 59th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the 61st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in the 62nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in No. 65 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Mekhi Wingo graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 93 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
They will replay Jonathon Brooks at pick 94 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in slot 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in No. 106 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Solomon at pick 107, value and slot in agreement. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at the 113th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Nice patience on Jaden Hicks, who had no business lasting to slot 116. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Circle this one: Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Fair-plus on Justin Eboigbe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dillon Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Johnson in the 134th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
They paid sticker price for Drake Nugent in pick 143, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick No. 153, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 18. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Good price on Jaylin Simpson in No. 161, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at the 163rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 36. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 180th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Brennan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Brennan Jackson in pick 189, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaylen Wright
The board fumbled Jaylen Wright all the way to the 204th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 210 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212
Rnd6
Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick No. 212 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
They robbed the room for Daijahn Anthony here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Tarheeb Still
Taking Tarheeb Still in the 225th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231
Rnd7
Omar Brown
Omar Brown in slot 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick235
Rnd7
Austin Stogner
You do not let a tight end like Austin Stogner reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
They let Ryan Watts come to them and pounced at pick 241. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244
Rnd7
Erick All
Erick All slipping to pick No. 244 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247
Rnd7
Myles Jones
Somehow Myles Jones was still sitting there in No. 247, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
They paid sticker price for Zakhari Franklin in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A conviction pick on Matthew Jones at the 252nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Anthony Gould
They jumped the gun on Anthony Gould, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
