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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bears started one anyway for Caden Curry, 35 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hall. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 25th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in the 57th overall pick, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Slaughter at slot 63 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in pick No. 89 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Raridon at pick 129, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in slot 239, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 241 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
A big swing on Deven Eastern at Round 7, Pick 31, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
