Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

There is a lot to like until you notice linebacker is still a hole. The Bears never got to the one that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Luckie reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the 22nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid a round early for Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 53, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They paid up for Nicholas Singleton at the 88th pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Good price on Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in pick 162 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick238 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 24 with a little surplus value in Malik Hartford. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick No. 243 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick257 Rnd7 Cayden Lee
Cayden Lee at slot 257 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
