Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears won the night they stopped Golday from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Golday, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the 89th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at pick No. 57. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 129 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Nice patience on Tanner Koziol, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 25. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick239 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in the 239th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Steal is underselling it; Kaden Wetjen at pick 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
