Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Bears.

Nobody else had Jalen Catalon anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Bears did, by 24 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Wells Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 22nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emery Jones
No drama and no debate, Emery Jones went about where he belonged in No. 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Bond in pick No. 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48 Rnd2 Mitchell Evans
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mitchell Evans. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
No edge and no loss on Aeneas Peebles in slot 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 73 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. slipping to Round 4, Pick 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in slot 137 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd6 Tim Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tim Smith at pick 169, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at No. 170 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd6 Eli Cox
Value said wait; Eli Cox in the 176th pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalen Catalon
They reached into another round for Jalen Catalon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
