Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bears: B.

Some picks age like wine; Luke Lachey at pick 68 will need to, sitting 38 spots clear of his grade.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 10 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A wild overpay on Kamren Kinchens in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They reached into another round for Jackson Powers-Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A want over a need in pick 110: Tykee Smith adds a safety while running back, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They talked themselves into Ainias Smith at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
