Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bears let Washington fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: A'Mauri Washington, the No. 38 name on the board, in pick No. 89.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Josaiah Stewart leading the way. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 4 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Teitum Tuioti
No drama and no debate, Teitum Tuioti went about where he belonged in the 37th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
They barely believed it either: Ahmad Hardy still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 89 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at Round 3, Pick 29 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the 105th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Zach Lutmer
Zach Lutmer at pick No. 129 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Jackson at pick 143 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dylan Lonergan
Dylan Lonergan in No. 163 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick167 Rnd5 Drew Azzopardi
Drew Azzopardi in slot 167 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cody Jackson
Cody Jackson at pick No. 239 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson at Round 7, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
