Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jude Bowry at pick 89 is 30 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The McAlister steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 63rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakee Wheatley at Round 3, Pick 31. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 129 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at slot 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
