Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 40 spots for Jalen Travis, and value like that does not grow back.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reed. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They did well to land Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 72 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at No. 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 235th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in No. 242, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
