Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B- to prove it.

The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Vincent Anthony Jr., taking him 90 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Muhammad.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Carter Smith
They reached a country mile for Carter Smith at Round 2, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A big swing on Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 89, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
They read the board right and Malik Muhammad was the payoff at the 92nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in slot 127 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
Value said wait; Eric O'Neill in the 129th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A premium they did not need to pay, Red Murdock a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams slipping to pick 239 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tony Rojas well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
