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

The Bears bet big and early on Aeneas Peebles, 69 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in No. 41, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Value said wait; Aeneas Peebles in pick 72 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
They robbed the room for Jordan Phillips here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
The board fumbled Antwane Wells Jr. all the way to the 233rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Donovan Edwards in slot 240, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
