Chicago opened the draft with Dillon Thieneman in the first round, adding a defensive anchor with range and versatility. The Bears followed with Logan Jones in the second round, continuing to build through the trenches and secondary.
Day 2 brought more volume on offense, with Chicago selecting Sam Roush and Zavion Thomas in the third round. The Bears then added Malik Muhammad in the fourth round, followed by Keyshawn Elliott in the fifth.
Chicago closed its class with Jordan Van den Berg in the sixth round.
The EasySportz analyst described the group as steady and functional, noting the Bears avoided major swings but consistently addressed needs across the roster.
While the class lacked a true headline-grabbing selection, the report credited Chicago for disciplined drafting and solid value throughout the middle rounds.
The B grade reflects a class that should provide depth and competition, even if it does not immediately change the ceiling of the roster.
