Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Dominic Zvada at pick No. 241, roughly 63 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Hill Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 59th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
The board had A.J. Haulcy higher than the 60th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 74 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They paid sticker price for Sam Hecht in pick No. 89, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in slot 106 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in slot 239 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They reached a country mile for Dominic Zvada at pick No. 241, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
