Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a B+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Cooper Beebe; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at pick 44. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Taylor III steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Chase Young gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 2 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 44 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jermaine Burton in the 67th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
The board fumbled Calen Bullock all the way to the 75th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Max Melton
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 122. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cedric Gray at slot 146. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in the 234th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
