Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Nick Jackson at Round 7, Pick 24 will need to, sitting 206 spots clear of his grade.

Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 10 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in the 55th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They let Donovan Jackson come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 86th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 148th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They paid up for Seth McLaughlin at slot 158 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A wild overpay on Luke Lachey in pick 174, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Value with a capital V on Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Nick Jackson
They reached into another round for Nick Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
