Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureF
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Jones: C+.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Logan Jones fell into slot 109.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Barton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Fair-plus on Dillon Thieneman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick60 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 28, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A clean, defensible pick in the 89th pick with a little surplus value in Skyler Bell. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Somehow Logan Jones was still sitting there in pick 109, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
They took Matt Gulbin at par in pick No. 170, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They went early on Lander Barton in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
