Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Bears bet big and early on Collin Schlee, 109 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Aidan Hutchinson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Nothing to complain about; Dallas Turner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in slot 74, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 110th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Theo Wease
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease at pick 126, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 188 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Collin Schlee
A wild overpay on Collin Schlee in pick No. 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
