Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Porter: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Darien Porter had no business being available in slot 148, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 10 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 7 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 41st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 72nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darien Porter
The board fumbled Darien Porter all the way to pick No. 148, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
