Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bears lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Washington Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jake Slaughter. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 89 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board had cheaper options than Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 129 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ephesians Prysock this early at the 163rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick 241 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
