Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bears let Stewart fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Evan Stewart had no business being available in the 105th pick, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In the 24th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 1, with Malaki Starks worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Somehow Colston Loveland was still sitting there in pick 41, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 56th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
Taking Jabbar Muhammad in No. 73 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Circle this one: Evan Stewart at slot 105 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They robbed the room for Ajani Cornelius here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
The board fumbled Bryce Foster all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Javontez Spraggins
Steal is underselling it; Javontez Spraggins at pick No. 189 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
