Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears won the night they stopped Thieneman from sliding. Grade: B-. Thirty-one other rooms let Dillon Thieneman slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 57th pick. Highway robbery.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Foster reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 57th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick60
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 28, where Eli Stowers graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They went early on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
They liked Gracen Halton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 129. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They paid up for Trey Zuhn III at slot 239 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 241st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
