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

Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They banked enough surplus on Briningstool to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Reaching for Beebe left real value on the table behind him. The Chase Young pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 5 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 36th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They reached a country mile for Cooper Beebe at No. 37, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 69 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at the 104th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Braelon Allen. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 142 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
They let Jamari Thrash come to them and pounced at the 183rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They read the board right and Jake Briningstool was the payoff at pick No. 226. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
