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

The Bears' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Vinson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 25 they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick32 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 72, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A clean, defensible pick in the 79th pick with a little surplus value in Isaiah Bond. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at the 148th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
A slide stopped in slot 233, with Akili Arnold worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick240 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Carson Vinson graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
