Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bears shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Reaching for Keenan III left real value on the table behind him.

They banked enough surplus on Banks to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 16 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A tidy bit of business in slot 44, where Caleb Banks graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
They let Kamari Ramsey come to them and pounced at pick 57. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darrell Jackson Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at No. 129 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They paid sticker price for Terion Stewart in the 164th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
A straight-up fair deal on Ethan O'Connor at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
They took Jacobe Johnson at par in the 241st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
