Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Akheem Mesidor, 51 picks early at the 248th pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Slaughter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach pick No. 48 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
No drama and no debate, Michael Taaffe went about where he belonged in slot 80. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick126 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Earnest Greene III. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jeremiah Wilson
Jeremiah Wilson in Round 5, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Value said wait; Jaishawn Barham in the 194th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan White
A reach on Jordan White in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at slot 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
