Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Troy Bowles in pick No. 257, a good 97 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 David Bailey
In slot 22 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in Round 2, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
They paid sticker price for Parker Brailsford in pick 127, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 162nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
A wild overpay on Marquis Johnson in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
The board had cheaper options than Bear Alexander at the 243rd overall pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
Troy Bowles in pick 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
