Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent No. 240 on Jalen Travis, a name the board had a full 53 spots lower.

However the rest shakes out, Warren at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ashton Jeanty in the 10th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 9 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 72 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Fair-plus on Ricky White III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in No. 240, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
