Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 239th overall pick: the Bears steal Wetjen and grade out a B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Bears made a strange one, taking Zakee Wheatley at safety in slot 94 with edge rusher, running back and other spots crying out for the pick instead. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Wetjen makes the weekend a net positive. Foster has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In No. 25 they get an enforcer at safety, even if it was a touch early.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Good price on Caleb Tiernan in pick No. 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Zakee Wheatley, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in the 163rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
They barely believed it either: Kaden Wetjen still on the board at pick 239. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They paid up for Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
