Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
D
ValueB+

FutureC+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Branch: D. The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Branch steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 16 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Somehow Dillon Thieneman was still sitting there in No. 44, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50
Rnd2
Cayden Green
Cayden Green slipping to the 50th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
They barely believed it either: Zachariah Branch still on the board at the 80th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Amare Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Amare Campbell in pick 118, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
CJ Baxter
They paid sticker price for CJ Baxter in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155
Rnd5
Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at the 173rd pick, value and slot in agreement. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick194
Rnd6
Brandon Inniss
No edge and no loss on Brandon Inniss in pick 194; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jack Velling
A clean, defensible pick in slot 229 with a little surplus value in Jack Velling. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jacobe Johnson
They will replay Jacobe Johnson at No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
