Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Jackson: B.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Landon Jackson, the No. 29 name on the board, in No. 73. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If El-Hadi pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luther Burden III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
No drama and no debate, Jonah Savaiinaea went about where he belonged in the 37th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No edge and no loss on Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at Round 3, Pick 9 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Foster at pick 137 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in No. 139; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at pick No. 169, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaheim Oatis
Jaheim Oatis in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Giovanni El-Hadi
A big swing on Giovanni El-Hadi at pick 219, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
