Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears torched the value chart for Dontay Corleone, taking him 75 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Horn Jr.. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 46 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 57, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 77th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
They reached a country mile for Mykel Williams at No. 149, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Alfred Collins. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick No. 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jimmy Horn Jr. still on the board at the 256th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
