Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Zane Durant at No. 129, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

That Hall pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 15th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Zion Young
They paid sticker price for Zion Young in the 40th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 14 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Good price on Caleb Tiernan in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
They went early on Sam Hecht in pick 74, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Logan Jones
No drama and no debate, Logan Jones went about where he belonged in pick No. 89. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Washington Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Value said wait; Zane Durant in the 129th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Somehow TJ Hall was still sitting there in slot 239, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
No edge and no loss on Fa'alili Fa'amoe in Round 7, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
