Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dani Dennis-Sutton at Round 1, Pick 25, a reach of 23 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In the 25th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
No edge and no loss on Genesis Smith in the 89th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
The board had cheaper options than Tanner Koziol at pick No. 129, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in pick 239 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A clean, defensible pick in the 241st pick with a little surplus value in Tony Grimes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
