Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

The Chase Bisontis pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 29 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Getting Slaughter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 16th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach the 48th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
A wild overpay on Chase Bisontis in slot 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 James Smith
James Smith in pick 155 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
They paid sticker price for Elliot Washington II in pick No. 194, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
