Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Bears bet big and early on Tyreak Sapp, 38 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Dixon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Romello Height
In pick No. 25 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Jacas. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyreak Sapp in pick 89, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They paid a round early for Jaeden Roberts in the 129th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in the 239th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in the 241st pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
