Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in LaJohntay Wester, taking him 86 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Vinson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Johnson went about where he belonged in the 39th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A premium they did not need to pay, Josaiah Stewart a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 72 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaJohntay Wester this early at the 149th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Vinson at pick No. 235. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gregory in No. 242, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
