Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Bears a B, Lachey and all.

The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Luke Lachey fell into Round 7, Pick 17.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Hamilton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a three-down runner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in pick No. 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in the 148th pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Somehow Luke Lachey was still sitting there in pick 233, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 7, Pick 24 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
