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

The Eli Cox pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 94 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. On the needs board they went 6 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 the 10th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 39th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 72 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A real head-scratcher, Carson Vinson in pick No. 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thomas Fidone II well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eli Cox
Value said wait; Eli Cox in No. 240 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in pick No. 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
