Draft Grade — Bears
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bears get a C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dylan McMahon at the 225th pick, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

So much rides on Marvin Harrison Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A reach on Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in pick No. 104, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in No. 132; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 141 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A big swing on Dylan McMahon at the 225th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
