Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Dasan McCullough at pick No. 243. The Bears jumped the board by 58 and dared it to prove them wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ponds. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 LT Overton
They paid sticker price for LT Overton in Round 1, Pick 22, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Boubacar Traore
They reached into another round for Boubacar Traore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds slid further than he should have, and pick 127 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Good price on Kage Casey in the 162nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Zhaun Stribling. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
A big swing on Dasan McCullough at the 243rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
A quiet steal in pick 257: Peyton Bowen for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
