ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Lew should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Connor Lew fell into pick 89.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
A clean, defensible pick in pick 57 with a little surplus value in Caleb Tiernan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at Round 2, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at the 89th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
