Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bears came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The cost of the Orhorhoro reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Corley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 35 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They talked themselves into Cooper Beebe at slot 44, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in pick No. 75, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in the 110th pick, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 22. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
