Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bears: B.

The Bears spent real capital to be 25 picks early on Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Fannin Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 10 they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slipping to the 63rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 66, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in the 148th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Corey Brooks at pick No. 240 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
