Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The war room fell hard for Trey Holly, and it showed at pick 232: 66 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Love falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 17 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at pick 50 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A reach for Caleb Tiernan in the 81st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in pick No. 155 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Campbell. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at Round 5, Pick 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at slot 199 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jordan White
They reached into another round for Jordan White, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trey Holly
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Holly well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Haynes King
They left a pile of value on the table to take Haynes King this early at pick No. 252. A need, and now a little less of one.
