Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Higgins should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jay Higgins, the No. 182 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 24.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at Round 1, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A clean, defensible pick in slot 39 with a little surplus value in Omarion Hampton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They did well to land Jayden Higgins in the 72nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in the 149th pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to pick No. 235, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 242 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
