Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Bears turned the phones into found money: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wallace at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

If Rice pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
A reach for Malachi Corley in slot 46; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 75th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 122nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Circle this one: Caedan Wallace at No. 234 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
