Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thomas Fidone II; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 54 spots ahead at the 148th overall pick.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 10 they get a featured back. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 39 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in the 55th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 8, with Demetrius Knight Jr. worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They talked themselves into Tyler Baron at pick 122, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at No. 125, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Thomas Fidone II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thomas Fidone II in the 148th overall pick, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A wild overpay on Jack Kiser in Round 5, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson is a better player than pick No. 240 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
