Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bears let Perkins Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 126 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 52 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Somehow Harold Perkins Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 126, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They did well to land Lander Barton in the 155th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
Shamar Porter in slot 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in the 248th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
