Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B+.

The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That Zinter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. McCormick has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 9th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick17 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 17 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 18 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
A quiet steal in pick No. 27: Byron Murphy II for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 38 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zach Frazier in the 63rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slipping to slot 82 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
They jumped the gun on Jared Wiley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They went early on Mason McCormick in the 131st overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
