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

The Bears bet big and early on Aeneas Peebles, 65 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Harris at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 10th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to pick No. 41 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick72 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
A wild overpay on Aeneas Peebles in the 72nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They paid sticker price for Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 149, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick197 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at Round 6, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jermari Harris in No. 235, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Sam Brown
A slide stopped in the 242nd overall pick, with Sam Brown worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
