Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A passer of the future in Nix, and a B+, for the Bears.

Start where it matters. The Bears took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If Solomon pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wiley.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with cornerback and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in No. 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick17 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 17 they get the arm they will build around, even if it was a touch early.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
They took Christian Haynes at par in the 54th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 75 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Javon Solomon with cornerback and linebacker unsolved.
Pick90 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 90 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bucky Irving at Round 5, Pick 8. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 156 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Williams in pick 161, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 KT Leveston
A real head-scratcher, KT Leveston in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
