Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears robbed the room for Felton. Final grade: B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tai Felton fell into the 148th overall pick.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Value with a capital V on Ashton Jeanty in No. 10, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A quiet steal in pick No. 72: Alfred Collins for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at the 148th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 233 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 240th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
