Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B-

TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears. The Bears bet big and early on Da'Shawn Womack, 102 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick No. 17 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50
Rnd2
Justice Haynes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justice Haynes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in No. 81, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ar'maj Reed-Adams this early at the 124th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199
Rnd6
Da'Shawn Womack
They talked themselves into Da'Shawn Womack at pick 199, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 7, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jack Velling
A big swing on Jack Velling at the 252nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
