Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Billy Bowman Jr. at the 128th overall pick is 27 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They will answer for taking safety early while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots went begging. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 2 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached into another round for Sedrick Van Pran, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Kinchens at slot 66, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
A clean, defensible pick in No. 69 with a little surplus value in Ladd McConkey. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A reach for Cade Stover in Round 4, Pick 23; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Billy Bowman Jr. at safety with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 142nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Darius Robinson at No. 183, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A premium they did not need to pay, Zion Tupuola-Fetui a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
