Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Wohler from sliding. Grade: B+.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Hunter Wohler, the No. 95 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 137 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 9th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emery Jones
Emery Jones in pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 73 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
The board had Danny Stutsman higher than Round 3, Pick 18, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at No. 105 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at slot 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caden Prieskorn in the 169th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jonathan Mendoza
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jonathan Mendoza at the Round 6 slot is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
