Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
Guyton should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Guyton got past him. The Bears do not have to explain a thing at pick 75. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 5th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 110, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in pick No. 122, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 223 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
