Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Malik Verdon at pick No. 233 will need to, sitting 88 spots clear of his grade.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They did well to land Tyler Warren in pick No. 20, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 27th overall pick they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They jumped the gun on Landon Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 45th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in No. 91, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 5 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the 169th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Crawford at slot 232, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malik Verdon this early at pick No. 233. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
