Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

The Bears bet big and early on J.J. Weaver, 139 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Getting Kuithe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 10 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 39th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They went early on Tyleik Williams in No. 44, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A reach for Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Kandra at pick 115 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They did well to land Raheim Sanders in the 147th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at No. 193, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Value said wait; Elijhah Badger in Round 7, Pick 17 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
You do not let a tight end like Brant Kuithe reach the 240th overall pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
