Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears let Slaughter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Slaughter had no business being available in the 89th pick, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If Llewellyn pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 89th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Max Llewellyn well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kelly in No. 239, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
The board had cheaper options than Eli Heidenreich at slot 241, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
