Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 115: the Bears steal Smith and grade out a B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bears walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Landing Smith that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If Murphy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick15 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 15th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 46. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 75. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Taking Tykee Smith in the 115th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis slipping to slot 146 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Williams. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at the 193rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at No. 232 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
