Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Bears robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: C-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jacobe Johnson at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Drayk Bowen
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Drayk Bowen in pick No. 63, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 69th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis slipping to pick 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jacobe Johnson
Jacobe Johnson in the 159th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
Taking Peyton Bowen in slot 197 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ty Simpson
Ty Simpson in No. 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
