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

The Bears torched the value chart for Jack Kiser, taking him 29 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Warren. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at Round 2, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick41 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick No. 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A real head-scratcher, Logan Brown in No. 119 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 148th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A big swing on Jack Kiser at slot 153, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
They liked Thomas Fidone II enough to skip the value, taking him in the 193rd overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at slot 233 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
A reach for Kitan Crawford in No. 240; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
