Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bears: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bears took Parker Brailsford at pick No. 46, roughly 71 spots before his name belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The McCoy steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 15th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
Value said wait; Parker Brailsford in the 46th overall pick says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Abdul Carter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Abdul Carter in pick No. 77, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
Fair-plus on Jonah Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tim Smith
They reached a country mile for Tim Smith at pick 201, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 245th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in pick 256 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
