Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The war room fell hard for Giles Jackson, and it showed at the 226th pick: 84 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The Carter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Jonathan Mingo gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 12 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They did well to land Kenneth Grant in No. 35, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Booker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in the 74th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at pick 146 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to No. 148, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nazir Stackhouse this early at slot 168. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson in the 226th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Makari Paige
They reached into another round for Makari Paige, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
