Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueB

TradesA-
FutureA+
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. Some picks age like wine; Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 78 will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade.
The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 10 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in the 44th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick78
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 78th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Charles Grant worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at slot 109. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 129th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A straight-up fair deal on Hollin Pierce at slot 133, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 135th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in pick 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Taking Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 176 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A safety of that caliber at No. 212 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224
Rnd7
Karene Reid
They will replay Karene Reid at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in No. 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at the 232nd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
A quiet steal in pick No. 233: Akili Arnold for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick236
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
They reached a country mile for Brant Kuithe at slot 236, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at the 239th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Circle this one: Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick 240 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251
Rnd7
John Williams
No edge and no loss on John Williams in Round 7, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They did well to land Teddye Buchanan in slot 253, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the 257th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
