Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Bears treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 241 on Jack Velling a full 37 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

On value alone, Allen makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In slot 26 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Allen at pick No. 60 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Good price on Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to the 131st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Velling well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in Round 7, Pick 29 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in pick No. 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
