Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bears.

The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Thor Griffith went at pick 116, a good 70 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Sturdivant steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 20 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at slot 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 52 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach the 110th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in Round 4, Pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 J. Michael Sturdivant
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 148 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Nice patience on Billy Bowman Jr., who had no business lasting to the 180th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
