Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Pratt: B+.

Call it larceny. Michael Pratt sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Bertrand reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 2 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They barely believed it either: Patrick Paul still on the board at the 67th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 110th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Steal is underselling it; Michael Pratt at Round 4, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 146 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 181st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A tidy little value on Josh Proctor in pick No. 193, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
