Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Smith: B.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Brashard Smith, the No. 100 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 193 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 10 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than pick No. 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the 147th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at No. 193 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the 240th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
