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

The Dasan McCullough pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 58 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ponds pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 LT Overton
In slot 22 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in pick No. 53, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Boubacar Traore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Boubacar Traore. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
The board had D'Angelo Ponds higher than the 127th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A tidy little value on Kage Casey in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 238th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
They talked themselves into Dasan McCullough at No. 243, and the board did not agree. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Peyton Bowen at Round 7, Pick 43 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
