Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears let Catalon fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jalen Catalon fell into the 203rd overall pick.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Lachey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at pick No. 9 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
Circle this one: James Pearce Jr. at Round 2, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in slot 41, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 73rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jalen Catalon in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham is a better player than the 226th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
