Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

TradesB-
FutureB-
The Bears let Love fall and pounced. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Jeremiyah Love at pick 48 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
A tidy little value on Rueben Bain Jr. in No. 16, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in slot 48 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in the 80th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bud Clark
They did well to land Bud Clark in pick No. 126, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155
Rnd5
Desmond Reid
By-the-book stuff, Desmond Reid at Round 5, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Fair-plus on Riley Mahlman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at pick 248 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
