Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Elliss: B-.

Somebody in the 111th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Jonah Elliss, the No. 89 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 9 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jonah Elliss
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Elliss at No. 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in pick No. 123. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
A slide stopped in the 143rd overall pick, with Isaiah Adams worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
