Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Somebody in the Round 3 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Xavier Watts, the No. 48 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every board in the league had Conerly Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 19th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy little value on Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ashton Gillotte this early at No. 41. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 55 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Nice patience on Kalel Mullings, who had no business lasting to pick No. 122. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
