Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
The Bears bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Van Pran lower, and that gap is the story.

The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 9th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. More want than need.
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 21 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Franklin in No. 35. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A clean, defensible pick in slot 39 with a little surplus value in Chris Braswell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 47th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sedrick Van Pran this early at Round 3, Pick 2. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Johnson. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 186th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
