Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Tahj Washington a full 152 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Jalen Carter leading the way.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In pick 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 50th pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jermaine Burton
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Burton in slot 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in No. 127, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146
Rnd5
Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at pick No. 146 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
They reached into another round for Tahj Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
